Patriot Product Improvement
Abstract
This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of the PATRIOT surface to air missile system. PATRIOT is an integral part of the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Architecture and enables the incremental fielding of the IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS) capability for Army Air and Missile Defense Battalions. The PATRIOT Product Improvement Program (PIP) provides for the upgrade of the PATRIOT System and the IAMD system through software improvements and individual materiel changes and upgrades to current force and IAMD-connected PATRIOT system components (interceptors, ground system equipment, launcher, and current radar) to address operational lessons-learned and necessary system performance improvements to include enhancements that support joint force interoperability and enable convergence with IBCS to ensure overmatch capability. 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 emerging threats in a manner that is not practical to demonstrate with live fire flight tests alone due to cost, target availability, 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. 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 including effective detection, tracking, discrimination, and engagement. 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. The PIP line also supports the identification, analysis, design, and test of materiel solutions to counter cyber security and electronic warfare shortcomings to all elements of the Lower Tier Battle Space. FY 2024 base dollars in the amount of $177.197 million support the continuance of critical software improvements for current force PATRIOT and Army IAMD, including Software Improvement for Threat Evolution, PAC-3 Seeker Software Improvement, Upper Tier Debris Mitigation, THAAD/PATRIOT Interoperability, Advanced Electronic Counter Measures (AECM), Combat ID enhancements, Tasks 2, 6, and 7 activities, program integration, modeling and simulation, acquisition of test assets and targets, Mobile Flight Mission Simulator (MFMS), PDB-8.1 and Patriot Component Software Build (PCSB) software, development and integration activities for Pacific Defense Initiative, Integrated Fires Architecture Fire Control Development, convergence with the IBCS and government and contractor support. FY 2024 Pacific Defense Initiative dollars in the amount of $46.545 million provides for development and integration activities.
