Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense (AMD) System
Abstract
The PATRIOT system includes a family of hardware, software, interceptors (GEM, PAC-2, PAC-3/MSE) and Ground Support Equipment. As software and hardware improvements are developed, there is a continuing need for system level modeling, simulations, and tests. Modeling and Simulation allow for performance assessment against all threats that would not be possible in flight tests due to cost, target and range constraints. Flight testing is periodically required for validation of the Modeling and Simulation as well as satisfying Army Test and Evaluation Command/Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (ATEC/DOTE) requirements of segment improvements. PATRIOT is an integral part of the overall Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Architecture and enables the incremental fielding of the system capability for Army Air and Missile Defense Battalions.
