The BNL IFEL will be used to optically prebunch the e-beam before sending it into an inverse Cerenkov acceleration (ICA) stage. Prebunching the beam will greatly improve the efficiency of the ICA process. The basic experimental design and preliminary model predictions for the combined ICA/IFEL experiment are discussed. Near-term goals are to demonstrate optical prebunching, rephasing of the prebunched beam with the optical field, and more efficient acceleration. Long-term goals are to demonstrate 100 MeV net acceleration using an ICA accelerator. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
