The US State Department has authorized potential foreign military sales to Denmark involving advanced air and missile defense systems valued at $3.73 billion.
Denmark has requested an Integrated Battle Command System with Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IBCS-IFPC) and associated equipment worth $3 billion.
The request includes 24 all-up round magazines, eight IFPC Increment 2 launchers, two Sentinel A4 radars, two IBCS engagement operations centers, two IBCS integrated collaborative environments, and six IBCS fire control network relays.
Copenhagen is also seeking 200 AIM-120C-8 AMRAAMs, plus three guidance sections and support equipment from RTX, in a separate package estimated at $730 million.
According to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, this will provide Denmark with “modern and capable air-to-air munitions” and strengthen interoperability with US Joint Forces, NATO members, and regional partners.
The main contractors for the IBCS-IFPC sale include RTX, Lockheed Martin, Leidos, and Northrop Grumman.
The acquisition will boost Denmark’s medium- and long-range air defense capacity, with IBCS acting as an integrated command-and-control hub that links sensors and interceptors across the battlefield.
The IFPC Increment 2 system provides defense against drones, cruise missiles, and other low-flying or fast-moving threats, bridging capability gaps between short-range defenses and Patriot batteries.
The IBCS has already demonstrated successful integration with IFPC and the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS).
Once delivered, Denmark will become the second European nation after Poland to field the IBCS-IFPC system.
