PAC-3/MSE Missile
Abstract
This system is an integral part of the overall Air and Missile Defense (AMD) architecture and enables the incremental fielding of the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Fire Control System/capability for the composite Army Air and Missile Defense Battalions. The PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) is the latest version of the PAC-3 Missile. It provides a more agile and lethal interceptor that increases the engagement envelope/defended area of the PATRIOT System. Both Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) and Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) activities are required to be executed during Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) in support of the planned Full Rate Production (FRP) decision. 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 & Evaluation Command/Director, Operational Test & Evaluation (ATEC/DOTE) requirements.
