Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense (AMD) System
Abstract
The PATRIOT system includes a family of hardware, software, interceptors (PAC-2, Guidance Enhanced Missiles, PAC-3 and PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement) and Ground Support Equipment. As software and hardware improvements are developed, there is a continuing need for system level modeling, simulation, integration and testing. Modeling and Simulation (M&S)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. Funding provides authority to identify, analyze, design and test materiel solutions to counter cybersecurity and electronic warfare shortcomings to all elements of the Patriot Air Defense Weapon System. FY2018 base dollars in the amount of $78.926 million continues program development with the integration of missile and ground system software and hardware in support of complete Post Deployment Build-8.1 (PDB-8.1). Continues the testing program to support the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) and system testing/analysis long lead activities for PDB-8.1 Development Test and Evaluation (DTE) and Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E).
