Patriot Mods

Patriot Mods under the Army's Missile Procurement budget activity, aims to implement critical capability, readiness, and sustainability modifications to the PATRIOT weapon system. The program supports Air and Missile Defense modernization priorities and integrates into the Integrated Air and Missile Defense architecture. Specific objectives include implementing reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) modifications to stabilize the system at the highest readiness posture, conducting recapitalization modifications for critical upgrades, mitigating obsolescence through digital exciter and communications upgrades, and rehosting tactical software for more flexible deployment options. Additionally, the program supports international engineering services, logistics recurring activities, and training augmentation for the PATRIOT Weapons System.

The Patriot Mods program is essential for maintaining the readiness and effectiveness of the PATRIOT weapon system in the field. It addresses identified material deficiencies, obsolescence issues, emerging technologies, and software improvements to ensure operational effectiveness. The program's specific goals include resolving field failures through RAM modifications, upgrading critical components through recapitalization efforts, mitigating obsolescence in radar systems and communications equipment, and rehosting tactical software for more flexible deployment options. Additionally, it supports international engineering services, logistics recurring activities, and training augmentation to enhance PATRIOT fleet readiness for both the United States Army and its international partners.
