The most advanced version of the Patriot missile<\/a> defeated a tactical ballistic missile threat target while fully integrated with a new radar in development<\/a> with the U.S. Army in a test over the weekend, marking a significant step toward the service\u2019s transition to a modernized missile defense capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The test conducted at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, used both the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) and the Cost Reduction Interceptor (CRI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe interceptors were shot in a ripple configuration and successfully engaged and intercepted the TBM target,\u201d <\/b>Lockheed Martin, the maker of the Patriot family of missiles, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The test integrating the Raytheon-developed Lower-Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) radar and PAC-3 missiles was built upon previous efforts to demonstrate PAC-3 integration with the Army\u2019s Integrated Battle Command Systems (IBCS) and LTAMDS, according to Lockheed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Northrop Grumman-made IBCS is a fielded system that links any sensor to any shooter on the battlefield and is seen as the brain of the Army\u2019s future air and missile defense architecture. LTAMDS is intended to replace the legacy Patriot radar with a capability that provides 360-degree protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army also had nascent plans to one day replace the PAC-3 MSE interceptor with a next-generation missile, but has since decided not to pursue development at this time<\/a>, Maj. Gen. Frank Lozano, program executive officer for Army missiles and space, told Defense News in an interview last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LTAMDS radar\u2019s success in recent tests has prompted Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to consider deploying the new radar early<\/a> to operational units for further evaluation and testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The test is part of a larger Integrated Fires Test Campaign <\/a>that has been running since mid-September and will continue through December, Lozano said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army\u2019s LTAMDS radar, which began testing using just its front array<\/a>, is now also demonstrating the functionality of its two rear arrays that provide the 360-degree level of protection, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the service is also bringing in the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC)<\/a> system, which can defeat a range of threats, including drones, cruise missiles, rockets, artillery and mortars from fixed and semi-fixed sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army wrapped up a development test for IFPC with three successful missile flight tests in late summer defeating two maneuvering unmanned aircraft systems, a Group 3 UAS \u2014 which can weigh up to roughly 1,300 pounds \u2014 and a maneuvering cruise missile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army will incorporate a new version of its Sentinel radar (Version 4) next year and add additional elements the following year, <\/b>all of which are expected to be part of the Pentagon\u2019s missile defense of Guam architecture <\/a>currently in development, Lozano said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
