Service To Promote Integrated Air Defense And Long Range Fires Capabilities

The US Army is set to promote the sale of capabilities in four main areas - integrated air and missile defense, long-range fires, drones, and counter drone systems - as part of a broader effort to restructure America’s foreign arms sales. According to Brent Ingraham, the head of Army acquisition, these categories align with existing and developmental weapons, including the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 and the Precision Strike Missile. The move follows President Donald Trump’s executive order directing the creation of a ‘sales catalog of prioritized platforms and systems’ for international sales, as reported by Breaking Defense.
