System Integration and Test

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. The Lower Tier AMD System line also supports identification, analysis, design, and test materiel solutions to counter cyber security and electronic warfare shortcomings to all elements of the Lower Tier Battle Space. 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. Program Element (PE) 0205456A Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense (AMD) System funding will be realigned to PE 0607865A Patriot Product Improvement beginning of Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, to PE 0607865A Patriot Product Improvement and C12101000 Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor beginning of FY 2022.
