In a recent test at the White Sands Missile Range, Raytheon’s Patriot Air and Missile Defense System successfully launched Lockheed Martin’s PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement to intercept a threat target. The successful intercept supports General Peter Chiarelli’s testimony that the technology from the recently-cancelled MEADS program can be harvested for Patriot. Chiarelli made the statements during his testimony at the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing April 5. Currently, 12 countries including the United States have selected Patriot as their Air and Missile Defense System.
