Adding more firepower to existing infrastructure across the U.S. military.
. The concept was spotted at the ongoing annual symposium conducted by the Surface Navy Association in Northern Virginia.The PAC-3 missile, developed by Lockheed Martin is used on the Phased Array Tracking Radar for Intercept on Target, the best air defense system available in the U.S. arsenal. The system recently made news after the U.S. government decided that it would lend one such system to Ukraine as it looks to shield itself from the Russian attack on its infrastructure.
The PATRIOT system built by Raytheon technologies was first deployed in the 1991 Gulf War to counter aerial threats such as aircraft cruise missiles as well as low-tier ballistic missiles. Currently, the system uses two types of interceptor missiles, the PAC-2, which has a blast fragmentation warhead, and the PAC-3, which uses hit-to-kill technology.
Now, Lockheed Martin is looking to deploy these missiles on the Navy's vertical launch systems as well.The Mk41 is actually a Lockheed Martin product, and the integration of the PAC-3 MSE should seem straightforward. Capable of firing a wide range of surface-to-air, anti-ship, and land-attack missiles, the Mk41 is a versatile workhorse for the U.S. Navy as well as other navies around the world.
