I guess my question is do we have radar systems to be able to track and focus on any hypersonic speeds and do we have hypersonic missiles to catch up to any of Russias hypersonic missiles along with Chinas hypersonic missiles? If not what else do the us plan to do when Russia decides to fire off some of there missiles at us or what plan do we have to intercept any submarines or chinas stealth bomber ?
The Patriot in an antiquated system that has been well an d truly surpassed. Example. Keep the missles and launcher but update the radar to a three or four panel system so you have 360 degree coverage at all times. Or have a rotating system similar to MEADS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Look up the LTAMDS. I know your comment was 10 months ago so it’s likely new things popped up in the time. It’s a new radar with 360 coverage and supposedly multiple times more powerful than the current patriot radar. If I remember correctly some have already been made for the military (Raytheon received the contract) but have yet to enter service.
The greatest problem that Patriot has is its inability to shoot interceptors in a 360 degrees. That is a big drawback of the system since the interceptors are positioned in canisters on a 60 degrees angle vs the Russian S family of SAMs that has vertical positioned missiles. That is especially bad since the Raytheon has won the contract for the new Patriot radar which will for the first time have 360 degrees coverage. But you can't exploit that leap in capability with current Patriot launchers that cover maybe 250 degrees. And I don't think that the Army will be investing into new launchers any time soon. So radar is on the cutting edge while the launchers are 40 yo and then again you jump to cutting edge interceptor missiles..
Yes and no. Patriot was designed to have backs / sides covered by other batteries and as Ukraine shows, yeah, in synthetic benchmark 360 degree coverage is clearly superior like Panther tank in WW II. In real life - e.g. on Ukraine - SAMs had to fight narrow azimuth angle saturation attacks (especially Russian ones) and concessions made, especially with tech available (in revisit time, even UX of operator consoles and flow of work) that allowed 360 degree coverage more likely have proven hinderance rather than help. USN has vertically launched missiles - SM-2s - but these are hampered by guidance. PS: Russians, at least on ships, were positioning their VLSes at an angle - just in case missile's motor failed to launch.
Very simple. Build something that is at par or better than your potential adversaries current or projected systems at an affordable price. Stop raping the tax payer for junk
Raytheon every video you put out without comments allowed gets a thumbs down are you coward of what people think of your missiles can your missiles hit planes and drones from unexpected pass fastly the American taxpayer wants to see demonstrations without tricks I'm pretty sure your partner do as well.
They keep talking about “integrated air defense” but from what I can see the US doesn’t think that AA artillery has a place in our defense. Whereas Russia has advanced it to an art. The US doctrine apparently assumes that air superiority already exists and they don’t need it. How does the Patriot deal with drones, and low flying helos and fixed wing stuff? Take the Pantzir, for instance. Monster 30 mm auto cannons with an ungodly rate of fire and a long range. Just slapping on dual .50 m2s won’t cut it.
Pantsyr - when actuall turned ON and manned by trained crews - had proven quite capable system (and concept). It even intercepted Tchochka TBM. But this is different segment / layer of AD, US closest equivalent would be Avenger.

Gallium arsenide?

Patriot PAC 3 is also useless

Patriot can intercept aircraft and short range ballistic missiles

Overpriced and garbage system
