PAC-3/MSE Missile

Abstract

The Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) is the latest version of the PAC-3 Missile. It provides a more agile and lethal interceptor that increases the engagement envelope/defended area of the PATRIOT System. Both LFT&E and IOT&E activities are required to be executed during Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) in support of the planned Full Rate Production (FRP) decision. As software and hardware improvements are developed there is a continuing need for system level modeling, simulations, and tests. Modeling and Simulation 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 Modeling and Simulation as well as satisfying ATEC/DOTE requirements. 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.
