Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)

Abstract

Phased Array Tracking Radar Intercept Of Target (PATRIOT) Advanced Capability (PAC-3) is one of the most mature elements of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) and is now operational with the U.S. Army. It is a land-based element built upon the proven PATRIOT air and missile defense infrastructure. The Army is responsible for production and further development of Advanced Capability-3 System; the Missile Defense Agency remains responsible for the Ballistic Missile Defense System interoperability and integration efforts. Lower Tier Project Office (LTPO) will utilize Missile Defense Agency funds to further the integration of PATRIOT into the BMDS. Support includes software coding, performance testing, flight testing and integration activities and modifications to cope with evolving threats.
