And the system will ideally have a lot of growth potential baked in, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replacing the Patriot radar has been a long time coming. The radar was first fielded in the 1980s, and the Army previously attempted to replace the system with Lockheed Martin\u2019s Medium Extended Air Defense System through an international co-development effort with Germany and Italy. But that program was canceled in the U.S. after closing out a proof-of-concept phase roughly six years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/02\/16\/us-army-sees-faster-path-for-patriot-radar-replacement\/\" target=_blank>Army has studied and debated how to replace the Patriot radar <\/a>while Raytheon continues to upgrade its radar to keep pace with current threats. It is acknowledged that there will come a point where radar upgrades will be unable to keep up with future threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking years to decide, the service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2017\/10\/18\/army-awards-concept-design-contracts-for-patriot-radar-replacement\/\" target=_blank>moved forward on a competition<\/a> to replace the radar in 2017 and chose four companies to come up with design concepts for the capability \u2014 Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Technovative Applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the end of 2018, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/10\/04\/army-chooses-raytheon-lockheed-to-mature-new-missile-defense-radars\/\" target=_blank>Raytheon and Lockheed were chosen<\/a> to continue technology development under that program.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/land\/2019\/08\/06\/f-35-talks-to-army-missile-command-system\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/5146741.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">F-35 talks to US Army\u2019s missile command system, says Lockheed<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The capability is seen as important in multidomain operations for detecting threats that are tough for ground-based sensors alone to pick up.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense News first broke the news last fall that the Army was attempting to hit the reset button on the LTAMDS program, deciding to host a \u201csense-off\u201d to identify available radar capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While LTAMDS is considered the fourth priority out of four major lines of effort with which the Cross-Functional Team in charge of AMD has defined, it is not because it\u2019s the least important, Youngman noted, but more related to schedule \u2014 where the system is in the development and fielding timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AMD CFT\u2019s top priority is its command-and-control system \u2014 the Integrated Battle Command System \u2014 for its future IAMD architecture. Limited user testing will occur next spring with a decision to move into production in the fourth quarter of FY20. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/06\/28\/us-armys-interim-short-range-air-defense-solution-crystallizes\/\" target=_blank>Manuever-Short-Range Air Defense \u2014 or M-SHORAD <\/a>\u2014 is the second priority as the Army . The service is set to begin development testing of its prototypes this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) Increment 2 program is ranked third as the Army prepares to take receipt of its interim cruise missile capability \u2014 two Iron Dome Systems \u2014 soon. The Army is in the midst of coming up with a new strategy for the IFPC system that will ultimately defend against rockets, artillery and mortar as well as cruise missiles and drone threats. The IFPC system will have to tie into the Army\u2019s IBCS system as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a
