Missile/Air Defense Product Improvement Program

Abstract

PATRIOT is an advanced Surface-to-Air guided missile system with a high probability of kill capable of operation in the presence of Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) and able to conduct multiple simultaneous engagements against high performance air breathing targets and ballistic missiles likely to be encountered by US Forces. The Patriot Product Improvement Program provides for the upgrade of the Patriot System through individual materiel changes. The Patriot Product Improvement Program upgrades the Patriot system to address operational lessons learned, enhancements to joint force interoperability, and other system performance improvements to provide overmatch capability with the emerging threat. Efforts will be made to expedite PATRIOT materiel solutions (e.g. Radar Digital Processor, Communications Upgrades, Radars on the Net) to facilitate integration into the IAMD architecture. DF8 Funding was realigned to PE 0203808, DS1. DF9 Funding was realigned to PE 0203808, DS2
