Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)
Abstract
PAC-3 is an operational, land-based weapon built upon the proven U.S. Army Phased Array Tracking Radar Intercept on Target (PATRIOT) air and missile defense infrastructure. The Army is responsible for production and further development of the PAC-3 System and Missile Segment Enhancements (MSE); MDA remains responsible for any BMDS interoperability and integration efforts. Lower Tier Project Office (LTPO) will utilize MDA funds to further the integration of PATRIOT with the BMDS. This project includes LTPO's portion of the USINDOPACOM JEON including: 1) PATRIOT launch on remote to utilize THAAD's capability to detect and track threat ballistic missiles at longer ranges and utilize MSE's full kinematic capability 2) THAAD/MSE Integration Part 1 that integrates MSE launchers and missiles into the THAAD weapon system enabling a more tightly integrated upper/lower tier defensive capability
