An electrothermal ice protection system (IPS) installed on an aircraft includes a sensor (22), a parting strip assembly, and a controller (50). The sensor (22) monitors a direction of a local incident airflow that is imparted on the sensor (22). The parting strip assembly is coupled to the critical surface and includes a plurality of heating sections. The controller (50) is in signal communication with the sensor (22) and the parting strip assembly. The controller (50) determines a direction of surface airflow incident on a critical surface of the aircraft based on the local incident airflow and selectively concentrates power to at least one targeted heating section among the plurality of heating sections with respect to non-targeted heating sections among the plurality of heating sections based on the direction of the surface airflow.
