The three missile launches included an AIM-9X that intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle after launch. A Low Cost Active Seeker and a Mini Hit-to-Kill interceptor were also successfully launched and flew ballistic trajectories.

The testing is to verify the tube integrity and missile stack integration of the MML.

The Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2-Intercept (IFPC Inc 2-I) is a mobile, ground-based weapon system that will be designed to acquire, track, engage and defeat Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Cruise Missiles (CM) and Rockets, Artillery and Mortars (RAM).
