Lockheed Martins [NYSE: LMT] PAC-3 Missile successfully intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile target yesterday at the Utah Test and Training Range in an unprecedented interoperability demonstration utilizing the Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS) and the PATRIOT system.
The test demonstrated the PAC-3 Missile Segments unique ability to detect, track, engage and destroy a cruise missile target at extended range in an integrated air and missile defense architecture that joins netted sensors and missile defense systems to provide greater capability for the warfighter.
The PAC-3 Missile continues to be successful against todays modern threats, and is ready for tomorrows modern plug-and-fight air and missile defense architectures, said Richard McDaniel, vice president of PAC-3 programs at Lockheed Martins Missiles and Fire Control business. This effort moves us closer towards achieving the U.S. Armys vision of a truly integrated Air and Missile Defense System.
