Patriot Product Improvement
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 U.S. Forces. The PATRIOT Product Improvement Program provides for the upgrade of the PATRIOT System through individual materiel changes and upgrades to 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, address Tactical Ballistic Missile (TBM) capability, Combat ID, and Advanced ECM improvements) to both enhance capability and facilitate integration into the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) architecture. Near term efforts are modifications and FY15 initiates competitive modernization through development of the Lower Tier Air & Missile Defense-Capability (LTAMD-C). The software funding provides improvements to the PATRIOT system against the evolving threat. This effort supports work with national agencies to evaluate, assess, and develop means to mitigate threat trends and specific threat developments potentially impacting system performance, and prioritize the improvements in the overall development cycle. Specific improvements may be developed and fielded under this task if warranted. The effort maintains the Mission Tailoring Database, responding to immediate tactical concerns; Database updates are fielded between major software upgrades as necessary. FY2016 base dollars continue Software Improvement for Threat Evolution, Upper Tier Debris Mitigation (UTDM), Radar Digital Processor (RDP) Development, RDP Waveform Suite, THAAD PATRIOT Interoperability, Advanced Electronic Counter Measures (AECM), Tasks 2, 6, and 7 activities, Combat ID Enhancements, Common Warfighter Machine Interface (CWMI), Lower Tier Air & Missile Defense-Capability (LTAMD-C), Concept Development and Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM) Asset Defense for the PATRIOT Product Improvement Program (PIP).
