The AN/MPQ-53 Radar Set supports PAC-2 units, while the AN/MPQ-65 Radar Set supports PAC-2 and PAC-3 units. The main difference between these two radars is the addition of a second <a href="/wiki/Travelling_wave_tube" class="mw-redirect" title="Travelling wave tube">travelling wave tube</a> (TWT), which gives the −65 radar increased search, detection, and tracking capability. The radar antenna array consists of over 5,000 elements that "deflect" the radar beam many times per second. </p><p>The radar antenna array contains an IFF interrogator subsystem, a TVM array, and at least one "sidelobe canceller" (SLC), which is a small array designed to decrease interference that might affect the radar. Patriot's radar is somewhat unusual in that it is a "detection-to-kill" system, meaning that a single unit performs all search, identification, track, and engagement functions. Most other SAM systems, by contrast, require several different radars to perform all functions necessary to detect and engage targets. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:JASDF_Patriot_RS(RadarSet)_tsuiki_20121028_113836.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/JASDF_Patriot_RS%28RadarSet%29_tsuiki_20121028_113836.jpg/220px-JASDF_Patriot_RS%28RadarSet%29_tsuiki_20121028_113836.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/JASDF_Patriot_RS%28RadarSet%29_tsuiki_20121028_113836.jpg/330px-JASDF_Patriot_RS%28RadarSet%29_tsuiki_20121028_113836.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/JASDF_Patriot_RS%28RadarSet%29_tsuiki_20121028_113836.jpg/440px-JASDF_Patriot_RS%28RadarSet%29_tsuiki_20121028_113836.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3624" data-file-height="2718" /></a><figcaption>A detailed view of an AN/MPQ-53 Radar Set</figcaption></figure> <p>The beam created by the Patriot's flat phased array radar is comparatively narrow and highly agile compared to that of a moving dish.

The main subcomponents of the ECS are the Weapons Control Computer (WCC), the Data Link Terminal (DLT), the <a href="/wiki/Ultra_high_frequency" title="Ultra high frequency">UHF</a> communications array, the Routing Logic Radio Interface Unit (RLRIU), and the two-person stations that serve as the system's human machine interface. The ECS is air conditioned, pressurized (to resist chemical/biological attack), and shielded against <a href="/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse" title="Electromagnetic pulse">electromagnetic pulse</a> (EMP) or other such electromagnetic interference. The ECS also contains several <a href="/wiki/SINCGARS" title="SINCGARS">SINCGARS</a> radios to facilitate voice communications. </p><p>The WCC is the main computer within the Patriot system. This computer controls the operator interface, calculates missile intercept algorithms, and provides limited fault diagnostics. It was designed as a 24-bit parallel militarized computer with fixed- and floating-point capability, organized in a multiprocessor configuration that operates at a maximum clock rate of <span class="hMeasure frequency"><span class="num">6</span> <span class="unit">MHz</span></span>. Compared to modern personal computers, this represents very limited processing power, so the computer has been upgraded several times during Patriot's service life. The latest variant fielded in 2013 has performance improved by several orders of magnitude. </p><p>The DLT connects the ECS to Patriot's Launching Stations. It uses either a <a href="/wiki/SINCGARS" title="SINCGARS">SINCGARS</a> radio or fiber optic cables to transmit encrypted data between the ECS and the launchers. Through the DLT, the system operators can remotely emplace, slew or stow launchers, perform diagnostics on launchers or missiles, and fire missiles. </p><p>The UHF communications array consists of three UHF radio "stacks" and their associated patching and encrypting equipment. These radios are connected to the antennas of the OE-349 Antenna Mast Group, which are used to create UHF "shots" between sister Patriot batteries and their associated ICC. This creates a secure, real-time data network (known as PADIL, Patriot Data Information Link) that allows the ICC to centralize control of its subordinate firing batteries. </p><p>The RLRIU functions as the primary <a href="/wiki/Router_(computing)" title="Router (computing)">router</a> for all data coming into the ECS. The RLRIU gives a firing battery an address on the battalion data network, and sends/receives data from across the battalion. It also "translates" data coming from the WCC to the DLT, facilitating communication with the launchers. </p><p>Patriot's crew stations are referred to as Manstation 1 and 3 (MS1 and MS3). These are the stations where Patriot operators interface with the system. The manstations consist of a monochrome (green and black) screen surrounded by various Switch Indicators. Each manstation also has a traditional <a href="/wiki/QWERTY" title="QWERTY">QWERTY</a> keyboard and isometric stick, a tiny <a href="/wiki/Joystick" title="Joystick">joystick</a> that functions much like a <a href="/wiki/Personal_computer" title="Personal computer">PC</a> <a href="/wiki/Mouse_(computing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mouse (computing)">mouse</a>. It is through these switch indicators and the Patriot user interface software that the system is operated.

The LIG connects the missiles themselves to the launcher via the Launcher Missile Round Distributor (LMRD). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Patriot_guided_missile">Patriot guided missile</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><table class="infobox vcard" style="width:25.5em;border-spacing:2px;"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-above hproduct" style="background-color:#C3D6EF;color:inherit;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;font-size:110%;"><span class="fn org"> Patriot missile </span></th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-image" style="text-align:center;border-bottom:1px solid #aaa;line-height:1.5em;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Patriot_missile_launch_b.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Patriot_missile_launch_b.jpg/300px-Patriot_missile_launch_b.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="380" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Patriot_missile_launch_b.jpg/450px-Patriot_missile_launch_b.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Patriot_missile_launch_b.jpg 2x" data-file-width="474" data-file-height="600" /></a></span><div class="infobox-caption">Four Patriot PAC-2 or sixteen Patriot PAC-3 missiles can be fired from the highly mobile <a href="/wiki/Transporter_erector_launcher" title="Transporter erector launcher">TEL</a></div></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="padding-right:1em">Type</th><td class="infobox-data"><a href="/wiki/Surface-to-air_missile" title="Surface-to-air missile">Surface-to-air missile</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="padding-right:1em">Place of origin</th><td class="infobox-data">United States</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="background-color:#C3D6EF;color:inherit;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;font-size:110%;">Production history</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="padding-right:1em">Designer</th><td class="infobox-data">Raytheon</td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="padding-right:1em">Unit cost</th><td class="infobox-data">US$1 to 6 million<sup id="cite_ref-US_Army_Budget_FY2011_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-US_Army_Budget_FY2011-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="padding-right:1em"><abbr title="Number">No.</abbr> built</th><td class="infobox-data">over 10,000<sup id="cite_ref-Janes_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Janes-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="padding-right:1em">Variants</th><td class="infobox-data">Standard, ASOJ/SOJC, PAC-2, PAC-2 GEM, GEM/C, GEM/T (or GEM+), PAC-3, PAC-3 MSE, PAAC-4 (SkyCeptor)</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="background-color:#C3D6EF;color:inherit;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;font-size:110%;">Specifications (See <a href="#Variants">§ Variants</a>)</th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-full-data"><hr /></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="padding-right:1em"><div style="line-height:1.25em">Launch<br />platform</div></th><td class="infobox-data">Mobile trainable round semi-trailer</td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The first fielded variant was the MIM-104A "Standard". It was optimized solely for engagements against aircraft and had very limited capability against ballistic missiles. It had a range of 70 km (43 mi), and a speed in excess of Mach 2. The MIM-104B "anti-standoff jammer" (ASOJ) is a missile designed to seek out and destroy <a href="/wiki/Electronic_countermeasures" class="mw-redirect" title="Electronic countermeasures">ECM</a> emitters. </p><p>The MIM-104C PAC-2 missile was the first Patriot missile that was optimized for ballistic missile engagements. The GEM series of missiles (MIM-104D/E) are further refinements of the PAC-2 missile. The PAC-3 missile is a new interceptor, featuring a Ka band active radar seeker, employing "hit-to-kill" interception, in contrast to previous interceptors' method of exploding in the vicinity of the target, destroying it with shrapnel, and several other enhancements which dramatically increase its lethality against ballistic missiles. The specific information for these different kinds of missiles are discussed in the "<a href="#Variants">Variants</a>" section. </p><p>The first seven of these are in the larger PAC-2 configuration of a single missile per canister, of which four can be placed on a launcher. PAC-3 missile canisters contain four missiles, so that sixteen rounds can be placed on a launcher. The missile canister serves as both the shipping and storage container and the launch tube. Patriot missiles are referred to as "certified rounds" as they leave the factory, and additional maintenance is not necessary on the missile prior to it being launched. </p><p>The PAC-2 missile is 5.8 metres (19 ft 0 in) long, weighs about 900 kilograms (2,000 lb), and is propelled by a solid-fueled rocket motor. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Patriot_missile_design">Patriot missile design</h4></div> <p>The PAC-2 family of missiles all have a fairly standard design, the only differences between the variants being certain internal components. They consist of (from front to rear) the <a href="/wiki/Radome" title="Radome">radome</a>, guidance section, warhead section, propulsion section, and control actuator section. </p><p>The radome is made of slip cast fused silica approximately 16.5 millimetres (0.65 in) thick, with a nickel alloy tip, and a composite base attachment ring bonded to the slip cast fused silica and protected by a molded silicone rubber ring. The radome provides an aerodynamic shape for the missile and <a href="/wiki/Microwave" title="Microwave">microwave</a> window and thermal protection for the <a href="/wiki/Radio_frequency" title="Radio frequency">RF</a> seeker and electronic components. </p><p>The Patriot guidance section consists primarily of the modular digital airborne guidance system (MDAGS). The MDAGS consists of a modular midcourse package that performs all of the required guidance functions from launch through midcourse and a terminal guidance section. The TVM seeker is mounted on the guidance section, extending into the radome. The seeker consists of an antenna mounted on an inertial platform, antenna control electronics, a receiver, and a transmitter. The Modular Midcourse Package (MMP), which is located in the forward portion of the warhead section, consists of the navigational electronics and a missile-borne computer that computes the guidance and autopilot algorithms and provides steering commands according to a resident computer program. </p><p>The warhead section, just aft of the guidance section, contains the <a href="/wiki/Proximity_fuze" title="Proximity fuze">proximity fuzed</a> warhead, safety-and-arming device, fuzing circuits and antennas, link antenna switching circuits, auxiliary electronics, inertial sensor assembly, and signal data converter. </p><p>The propulsion section consists of the <a href="/wiki/Rocket" title="Rocket">rocket</a> motor, external heat shield, and two external conduits. The rocket motor includes the case, nozzle assembly, propellant, liner and insulation, pyrogen igniter, and propulsion arming and firing unit. The casing of the motor is an integral structural element of the missile airframe. It contains a conventional, casebonded solid rocket propellant. </p><p>The Control Actuator Section (CAS) is at the aft end of the missile. It receives commands from the missile autopilot and positions the fins. The missile fins steer and stabilize the missile in flight. A fin <a href="/wiki/Servomechanism" title="Servomechanism">servo</a> system positions the fins. The fin servo system consists of <a href="/wiki/Hydraulic" class="mw-redirect" title="Hydraulic">hydraulic</a> actuators and valves and an electrohydraulic power supply. The electrohydraulic power consists of a battery, motor pump, oil reservoir, gas pressure bottle, and accumulator. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Variants">Variants</h2></div> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Missile specifications<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th> </th> <th><a href="#MIM-104A">MIM-104A</a> </th> <th><a href="#MIM-104D_(PAC-2/GEM)">MIM-104D</a>/E PAC-2 </th> <th><a href="#MIM-104F_(PAC-3)">MIM-104F PAC-3</a> </th> <th><a href="#PAC-3_MSE">MIM-104F PAC-3 MSE</a> </th> <th><a href="#SkyCeptor_(PAAC-4)">SkyCeptor</a> </th></tr> <tr> <th>Mass </th> <td>907.2 kg (2,000 lb) </td> <td>900 kg (2,000 lb) (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>) </td> <td>315 kg (694 lb) </td> <td>Unknown </td> <td>Unknown </td></tr> <tr> <th>Length </th> <td>5.3 m (17 ft 5 in) </td> <td>5.3 m (17 ft 5 in) (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>) </td> <td>5.2 m (17 ft 1 in) </td> <td>5.3 m (17 ft 5 in) (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>) </td> <td>3.38 m (11 ft 1 in) without booster (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>)<br />4.95 m (16 ft 3 in) with booster (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>) </td></tr> <tr> <th>Diameter </th> <td>410 mm (16 in) </td> <td>410 mm (16 in) (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>) </td> <td>255 mm (10 in) </td> <td>290 mm (11 in) (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>) </td> <td>230 mm (9.1 in) missile (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>)<br />305 mm (12 in) booster (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>) </td></tr> <tr> <th>Wingspan </th> <td>870 mm (34 in) </td> <td>863 mm (34 in) (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>) </td> <td>Unknown </td> <td>Unknown </td> <td>460 mm (18 in) missile (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>)<br />490 mm (19 in) booster (<abbr title="estimation">est.</abbr>) </td></tr> <tr> <th><a href="/wiki/Missile_guidance" title="Missile guidance">Guidance<br />type</a> </th> <td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wiki/Track-via-missile" title="Track-via-missile">Track-via-missile</a> </td> <td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wiki/Active_radar_homing" title="Active radar homing">Active radar homing</a> </td> <td>Dual mode (<a href="/wiki/Infrared_homing" title="Infrared homing">IR homing</a> and <a href="/wiki/Active_radar_homing" title="Active radar homing">active radar homing</a>) </td></tr> <tr> <th>Guidance<br />seeker </th> <td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wiki/Semi-active_radar_homing" title="Semi-active radar homing">Semi-active radar</a> </td> <td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Active radar seeker </td> <td>IR seeker;

This was the initial "Standard" missile, still known as "Standard" today. In Patriot's early days, the system was used exclusively as an anti-aircraft weapon, with no capability against ballistic missiles. This was remedied during the late 1980s when Patriot received its first major system overhaul with the introduction of the Patriot Advanced Capability missile and concurrent system upgrades. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="MIM-104B_(PAC-1)"><span id="MIM-104B_.28PAC-1.29"></span><span class="anchor" id="MIM-104B"></span><span class="anchor" id="PAC-1"></span> MIM-104B (PAC-1)</h3></div> <p>Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-1), known today as the PAC-1 upgrade, was a software-only upgrade. The most significant aspects of this upgrade were changing the way the radar searched and the way the system defended its assets. Instead of searching low to the horizon, the top of the radar's search angle was lifted to near vertical (89 degrees) from the previous angle of 25 degrees. This was done as a counter to the steep parabolic trajectory of inbound ballistic missiles. The search beams of the radar were tightened, and while in "TBM search mode" the "flash," or the speed at which these beams were shot out, was increased significantly. </p><p>While this increased the radar's detection capability against the ballistic missile threat set, it decreased the system's effectiveness against traditional atmospheric targets, as it reduced the detection range of the radar as well as the number of "flashes" at the horizon. Because of this, it was necessary to retain the search functions for traditional atmospheric threats in a separate search program, which could be easily toggled by the operator based on the expected threat. </p><p>The ballistic missile defense capability changed the way Patriot defended targets. Instead of being used as a system to defend a significant area against enemy air attack, it was now used to defend much smaller "point" targets, which needed to lie within the system's TBM "footprint". The footprint is the area on the ground that Patriot can defend against inbound ballistic missiles. </p><p>During the 1980s, Patriot was upgraded in relatively minor ways, mostly via its software. The most significant of these was a special upgrade to discriminate and intercept artillery rockets in the vein of the <a href="/wiki/Multiple_rocket_launcher" title="Multiple rocket launcher">multiple rocket launcher</a>, which was seen as a significant threat from North Korea. This feature has not been used in combat and has since been deleted from <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">U.S. Army</a> Patriot systems, though it remains in South Korean systems. Another upgrade the system saw was the introduction of another missile type, designated MIM-104B and called "anti stand-off jammer" (ASOJ) by the Army. This variant is designed to help Patriot engage and destroy <a href="/wiki/Radar_jamming_and_deception" title="Radar jamming and deception">ECM</a> aircraft at standoff ranges. It works similar to an <a href="/wiki/Anti-radiation_missile" title="Anti-radiation missile">anti-radiation missile</a> in that it flies a highly <a href="/wiki/Lofted_trajectory" class="mw-redirect" title="Lofted trajectory">lofted trajectory</a> and then locates, <a href="/wiki/Home-on-jam" class="mw-redirect" title="Home-on-jam">homes in on</a>, and destroys the most significant emitter in an area designated by the operator. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="MIM-104C_(PAC-2)"><span id="MIM-104C_.28PAC-2.29"></span><span class="anchor" id="MIM-104C"></span><span class="anchor" id="PAC-2"></span> MIM-104C (PAC-2)</h3></div> <p>During the late 1980s, tests began to indicate that, although Patriot was certainly capable of intercepting inbound ballistic missiles, it was questionable whether the MIM-104A/B missile was capable of destroying them reliably. This necessitated the introduction of the PAC-2 missile and system upgrade. </p><p>For the system, the PAC-2 upgrade was similar to the PAC-1 upgrade. Radar search algorithms were further optimized, and the beam protocol while in "TBM search" was further modified. PAC-2 saw Patriot's first major missile upgrade, with the introduction of the MIM-104C, or PAC-2 missile. This missile was optimized for ballistic missile engagements. Major changes to the PAC-2 missile were the size of the projectiles in its blast-fragmentation warhead, changed from around 2 grams to around 45 grams, and the timing of the <a href="/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar" title="Pulse-Doppler radar">pulse-Doppler radar</a> fuze, which was optimized for high-speed engagements, though it retained its old algorithm for aircraft engagements if necessary. </p><p>Engagement procedures were optimized, changing the method of fire the system used to engage ballistic missiles. Instead of launching two missiles in an almost simultaneous salvo, a brief delay between 3 and 4 seconds was added, in order to allow the second missile launched to discriminate a ballistic missile warhead in the aftermath of the explosion of the first. </p><p>PAC-2 was first tested in 1987 and reached Army units in 1990, just in time for deployment to the Middle East for the <a href="/wiki/Gulf_War" title="Gulf War">Persian Gulf War</a>. It was there that Patriot was first regarded as a successful ABM system and proof that ballistic missile defense was indeed possible. The complete study on its effectiveness remains classified. </p><p>In April 2013, <a href="/wiki/Raytheon" title="Raytheon">Raytheon</a> received U.S. Army approval for a second recertification, extending the operational life of the worldwide inventory of Patriot missiles from 30 to 45 years.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="MIM-104D_(PAC-2/GEM)"><span id="MIM-104D_.28PAC-2.2FGEM.29"></span><span class="anchor" id="MIM-104D"></span><span class="anchor" id="GEM"></span> MIM-104D (PAC-2/GEM)</h3></div> <p>There were more upgrades to PAC-2 systems throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century, mostly centering on software. The PAC-2 missiles were modified significantly—four separate variants became known collectively as <b>guidance enhanced missiles (GEM)</b>. </p><p>The main upgrade to the original GEM missile was a new, faster proximity fuzed warhead. Tests had indicated that the fuze on the original PAC-2 missiles were detonating their warheads too late when engaging ballistic missiles with an extremely steep ingress, and as such it was necessary to shorten this fuze delay. The GEM missile was given a new "low <a href="/wiki/Noise_(radio)" class="mw-redirect" title="Noise (radio)">noise</a>" seeker head designed to reduce interference in front of the missile's radar seeker, and a higher performance seeker designed to better detect low <a href="/wiki/Radar_cross-section" class="mw-redirect" title="Radar cross-section">radar cross-section</a> targets.<sup id="cite_ref-M104_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-M104-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The GEM was used extensively in <a href="/wiki/2003_invasion_of_Iraq" title="2003 invasion of Iraq">Operation Iraqi Freedom</a> (OIF), during which air defense was highly successful.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="MIM-104E_(PAC-2/GEM+)"><span id="MIM-104E_.28PAC-2.2FGEM.2B.29"></span><span class="anchor" id="MIM-104E"></span><span class="anchor" id="GEM+"></span><span class="anchor" id="GEM-T"></span> MIM-104E (PAC-2/GEM+)</h3></div> <p>Just prior to OIF, it was decided to further upgrade the GEM and PAC-2 missiles. This upgrade program produced missiles known as the GEM-T and the GEM-C, the "T" designator referring to tactical ballistic missiles, and the "C" designator referring to cruise missiles. These missiles were both given a totally new nose section, which was designed specifically to be more effective against low altitude, low RCS targets like cruise missiles. The GEM-T was given a new fuze which was further optimized against ballistic missiles and a new low noise oscillator which increases the seeker's sensitivity to low radar cross-section targets.

This capability greatly increases the situational awareness of Patriot crews and other participants on the Link 16 network that are able to receive the Patriot local air picture. </p><p>The software can now conduct a tailored TBM search, optimizing radar resources for search in a particular sector known to have ballistic missile activity, and can support a "keepout altitude" to ensure ballistic missiles with chemical warheads or early release <a href="/wiki/Submunition" class="mw-redirect" title="Submunition">submunitions</a> (ERS) are destroyed at a certain altitude. For Configuration 3 units, the Patriot radar was completely redesigned, adding another <a href="/wiki/Traveling_wave_tube" class="mw-redirect" title="Traveling wave tube">traveling wave tube</a> (TWT) that increased the radar's search, detection, tracking, and discrimination abilities. The new radar is designated AN/MPQ-65. It is capable, among other things, of discriminating whether an aircraft is crewed and which of multiple reentering ballistic objects are carrying ordnance. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile(dummy_model)_left_side_view_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20,_2019.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_left_side_view_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg/220px-JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_left_side_view_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_left_side_view_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg/330px-JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_left_side_view_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_left_side_view_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg/440px-JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_left_side_view_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5568" data-file-height="3712" /></a><figcaption>PAC-3 dummy missile on display at the <a href="/wiki/Hamamatsu_Air_Base" title="Hamamatsu Air Base">Hamamatsu Air Base</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The PAC-3 upgrade carried with it a new missile design, nominally known as MIM-104F and called PAC-3 by the Army.<sup id="cite_ref-auto3_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto3-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> First deployed in 1997, the PAC-3 missile evolved from the <a href="/wiki/Strategic_Defense_Initiative" title="Strategic Defense Initiative">Strategic Defense Initiative</a>'s <a href="/wiki/ERINT" class="mw-redirect" title="ERINT">ERINT</a> missile, and so it is dedicated almost entirely to the anti-ballistic missile mission. Due to miniaturization, a single canister can hold four PAC-3 missiles, as opposed to one PAC-2 missile per canister. The PAC-3 missile is more maneuverable than previous variants, due to 180 tiny pulse solid propellant rocket motors mounted in the forebody of the missile, called Attitude Control Motors, or ACMs, which serve to fine align the missile trajectory with its target to achieve hit-to-kill capability.<sup id="cite_ref-auto3_31-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto3-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-howstuffworks_32-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-howstuffworks-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile(dummy_model)_side_thruster_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20,_2019.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_side_thruster_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg/220px-JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_side_thruster_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_side_thruster_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg/330px-JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_side_thruster_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_side_thruster_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg/440px-JASDF_MIM-104_Patriot_PAC-3_Missile%28dummy_model%29_side_thruster_at_Hamamatsu_Air_Base_October_20%2C_2019.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5568" data-file-height="3712" /></a><figcaption>Attitude control motors</figcaption></figure> <p>The most significant upgrade to the PAC-3 missile is the addition of a <a href="/wiki/Ka_band" title="Ka band">K<sub>a</sub> band</a> <a href="/wiki/Active_radar_homing" title="Active radar homing">active radar</a> seeker. This allows the missile to drop its uplink to the system and acquire its target itself in the terminal phase of its intercept, which improves the reaction time of the missile against a fast-moving ballistic missile target. The PAC-3 missile is accurate enough to select, target, and home in on the warhead portion of an inbound ballistic missile. The active radar gives the warhead a "hit-to-kill" (<a href="/wiki/Kinetic_kill_vehicle" class="mw-redirect" title="Kinetic kill vehicle">kinetic kill vehicle</a>) capability that eliminates the need for a traditional proximity-fused warhead. The missile still has a small explosive warhead, called a <i>lethality enhancer</i>, a warhead which launches 24 low-speed <a href="/wiki/Tungsten" title="Tungsten">tungsten</a> fragments in a radial direction to make the missile cross-section greater and enhance the <a href="/wiki/Kill_probability" class="mw-redirect" title="Kill probability">kill probability</a>.

It has increased the scope of ballistic missiles that Patriot can engage, which now includes several intermediate ranges. However, despite its increases in ballistic missile defense capabilities, the PAC-3 missile has a shorter range and a smaller explosive warhead compared to older Patriot missiles, making it a less capable interceptor of atmospheric aircraft and <a href="/wiki/Air-to-surface_missile" title="Air-to-surface missile">air-to-surface missiles</a>.

The Patriot line battery is commanded by a <a href="/wiki/Captain_(OF-2)" class="mw-redirect" title="Captain (OF-2)">captain</a> and usually consists of between 70 and 90 soldiers.

The large number of missiles fired suggests low confidence in individual missiles and that a higher rate of successful interceptions was achieved through brute force. For example, if a Patriot has a 50% individual success rate, two missiles will intercept 75% of the time, and three will intercept 87.5% of the time. Only one has to hit for a successful interception, but this does not mean that the other missiles would not also have hit. </p><p>The Iraqi redesign of the Scuds also played a role. Iraq had redesigned its Scuds by removing weight from the warhead to increase speed and range, but the changes weakened the missile and made it unstable during flight, creating a tendency for the Scud to break up during its descent from <a href="/wiki/Near_space" class="mw-redirect" title="Near space">near space</a>. This presented a larger number of targets as it was unclear which piece contained the warhead. </p><p>According to the Zraket testimony, there was a lack of <a href="/wiki/High_speed_photography" class="mw-redirect" title="High speed photography">high quality photographic equipment</a> necessary to record the interceptions of targets. Therefore, Patriot crews recorded each launch on <a href="/wiki/Standard-definition" class="mw-redirect" title="Standard-definition">standard-definition</a> videotape, which was insufficient for detailed analysis. Damage assessment teams videotaped the Scud debris that was found on the ground. Crater analysis was then used to determine if the warhead was destroyed before the debris crashed or not. Part of the reason for the 30% improvement in success rate in Saudi Arabia compared to Israel is that the Patriot merely had to push the incoming Scud missiles away from military targets in the desert or disable the Scud's warhead in order to avoid casualties, while in Israel the Scuds were aimed directly at cities and civilian populations. </p><p>The Saudi Government also censored any reporting of Scud damage by the Saudi press. The Israeli Government did not institute the same type of censorship. Patriot's success rate in Israel was examined by the <a href="/wiki/Israel_Defense_Forces" title="Israel Defense Forces">Israel Defense Forces</a> (IDF) who did not have a political reason to play up Patriot's success rate.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (October 2017)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> The IDF counted any Scud that exploded on the ground, regardless of whether or not it was diverted, as a failure for the Patriot. Meanwhile, the U.S. Army, which had many reasons to support a high success rate for Patriot, examined the performance of Patriot in Saudi Arabia. </p><p>Both testimonies state that part of the problems stem from its original design as an anti-aircraft system. Patriot was designed with <a href="/wiki/Proximity_fuze" title="Proximity fuze">proximity fused</a> warheads, which are designed to explode immediately prior to hitting a target spraying shrapnel out in a fan in front of the missile, either destroying or disabling the target. These missiles were fired at the target's center of mass. With aircraft this was fine, but considering the much higher speeds of tactical ballistic missiles, as well as the location of the warhead, usually in the nose, Patriot most often hit closer to the tail of the Scud due to the delay present in the <a href="/wiki/Proximity_fuse" class="mw-redirect" title="Proximity fuse">proximity fused</a> warhead, thus not destroying the missile's warhead and allowing it to fall to earth. </p><p>In response to the testimonies and other evidence, the staff of the House Government Operations Subcommittee on Legislation and National Security reported, "The Patriot missile system was not the spectacular success in the Persian Gulf War that the American public was led to believe. There is little evidence to prove that the Patriot hit more than a few <a href="/wiki/Scud" class="mw-redirect" title="Scud">Scud</a> missiles launched by Iraq during the Gulf War, and there are some doubts about even these engagements.
