Patriot Missile, United States of America 30
Key Data
Patriot is a long-range, all-altitude, all-weather
air defence system to counter tactical ballistic missiles, cruise
missiles and advanced aircraft. Patriot (MIM-104) is produced by
Raytheon in Massachusetts and Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control
in Florida.
As well as the USA, Patriot is in service in Egypt, Germany, Greece,
Israel, Japan, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.
Patriot missile systems were deployed by US forces during Operation
Iraqi Freedom. The systems were stationed in Kuwait and successfully
destroyed a number of hostile surface-to-surface missiles using the new
PAC-3 and guidance enhanced missiles.
Patriot missileThe Patriot missile is equipped with a track-via-missile (TVM)
guidance system. Midcourse correction commands are transmitted to the
guidance system from the mobile engagement control centre.
"Patriot is a long-range, all-altitude, all-weather air defence system."
The target acquisition system in the missile acquires the target in
the terminal phase of flight and transmits the data using the TVM
downlink via the ground radar to the engagement control station for
final course correction calculations. The course correction commands are
transmitted to the missile via the missile track command uplink.
The high-explosive 90kg warhead is situated behind the terminal guidance section.
The range of the missile is 70km and maximum altitude is greater than
24km. The minimum flight time is the time to arm the missile, which is
less than nine seconds, and the maximum flight time is less than three
and a half minutes.
Patriot GEM-T upgradeRaytheon has developed the Patriot guidance enhanced missile (GEM-T),
an upgrade to the PAC-2 missile. The upgrade involves a new fuse and
the insertion of a new low noise oscillator which increases the seeker's
sensitivity to low radar cross-section targets.
The GEM-T missile provides an upgraded capability to defeat
air-breathing, cruise and ballistic missiles, as a compliment to the
PAC-3 missile. The first upgrade forebodies were delivered to the US
Army in November 2002.
By September 2010, a total of 1,000 Patriot missiles were upgraded for the US Army.
In July 2008, South Korea placed an order for 64 GEM-T upgrade kits.
In April 2011, US Army Aviation and Missile Command awarded a $58.3m
contract to upgrade 131 PAC-2 missiles to GEM-T missile configuration.
In July 2008, South Korea placed an order for 64 GEM-T upgrade kits.
Patriot advanced capability (PAC-3)A new Patriot advanced capability (PAC-3) missile has increased
effectiveness against tactical ballistic and cruise missiles, through
the use of advanced hit-to-kill technology. Lockheed Martin is the prime
contractor with Raytheon the systems integrator. The PAC-3 has a
Ka-band millimetre wave seeker developed by Boeing. The missile guidance
system enables target destruction through the kinetic energy released
by hitting the target head-on. 16 PAC-3 missiles can be loaded on a
launcher, compared to four PAC-2 missiles.
"The Patriot missile is equipped with a track-via-missile (TVM) guidance system."
PAC-3 entered low rate initial production in late 1999 and first LRIP
production missiles of a total of 92 were delivered in September 2001. A
contract for 88 missiles was placed in December 2002 and another for 12
in March 2003.
The missile was first deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom in
March / April 2003. In February 2004, Lockheed Martin was awarded a
production contract for 159 PAC-3 missiles, which includes 22 missiles
to replace those expended in Iraq. Deliveries were concluded by April
2006.
A further contract for 156 missiles was received in February 2005. Of
these missiles, 32 are for the Netherlands and 16 for Japan under
foreign military sales (FMS) agreements. The Netherlands received the
first PAC-3 missiles in October 2007. The US Army ordered another 112
missiles in May 2006 and 112 in March 2007.
Lockheed Martin was awarded a contract in January 2007 for the risk
reduction / concept definition of a programme for an air-launched
Patriot PAC-3 missile system. The F-15C fighter would be the first
aircraft to be fitted with the system.
In December 2007, the United Arab Emirates requested the foreign
military sale of the Patriot system, including nine Patriot launchers,
288 PAC-3 missiles, 216 Patriot GEM-T missiles. The contract was awarded
in December 2008. Kuwait has also requested 80 PAC-3 missiles and 60
GEM-T upgrade kits, a contract for the first six upgrade kits was placed
in July 2008. In April 2008, Taiwan placed an order for a number of
PAC-3 upgrade kits and, in October 2008, requested the sale of 330 PAC-3
missiles.
PAC-3 missile segment enhancement (MSE)The PAC-3 missile segment enhancement (MSE) is part of a spiral development being undertaken by Lockheed Martin.
The increased range MSE gives the missile a more powerful rocket
motor for added thrust and larger fins for increased maneuverability
against faster and more sophisticated ballistic and cruise missiles. The
MSE began flight testing in May 2008.
The PAC-3 MSE is the baseline interceptor for the multinational
medium extended air defence system (MEADS) under a contract placed in
February 2008. The missile was successfully test fired using the Patriot
system in May 2011.
M901 launching stationThe M901 launching station transports, points and launches the
Patriot missile. Each launcher has four missiles. The launcher is
remotely operated via a VHF or fibre-optic data link from the engagement
control station, which provides both the missile prelaunch data and the
fire command signal.
Engagement control stationThe AN/MSQ-104 engagement control station is the only manned station
in a Patriot fire unit. The control station communicates with the M901
launching stations, with other Patriot batteries and the higher command
headquarters.
The control station is manned by three operators, who have two
consoles and a communications station with three radio relay terminals.
The digital weapon control computer is located next to the VHF data link
terminals.
RadarThe AN/MPQ-53 phased array radar carries out search, target
detection, track and identification, missile tracking and guidance and
electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) functions. The radar is
mounted on a trailer and is automatically controlled by the digital
weapons control computer in the engagement control station, via a cable
link. The radar system has a range of up to 100km, capacity to track up
to 100 targets and can provide missile guidance data for up to nine
missiles.
"The M901 launching station transports, points and launches
the Patriot missile."
The US Army Patriot radars are being upgraded by Raytheon. The
upgrade kits provide greater power for the radar and the addition of a
wideband capability for improved target discrimination.
Target engagementA target engagement can be carried out in manual, semi-automatic or
automatic mode. When the decision has been made to engage the target,
the engagement control station selects the launch station or stations
and pre-launch data is transmitted to the selected missile. After
launch, the Patriot missile is acquired by the radar.
The command uplink and the TVM downlink allow the missile's flight to
be monitored and provide missile guidance commands from the weapon
control computer. As the missile approaches the target, the TVM guidance
system is activated and the missile is steered towards the target. A
proximity fuse detonates the high-explosive warhead.
Patriot is a long-range, all-altitude, all-weather air defence
system to counter tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and
advanced aircraft.
Developed by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, the Patriot Missile
system is in service in the US, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Israel, Japan,
Kuwait, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.
During Operation Iraqi Freedom, the systems were stationed in
Kuwait and successfully destroyed a number of hostile surface-to-surface
missiles using the new PAC-3 and guidance enhanced missiles.
