Since its Cold War launch, the Patriot system created by Raytheon has changed dramatically. With its sophisticated hit-to--kill technology, its most recent model, the PAC-3, shines in low-altitude defence situations. Engaging up to six threats, the system's radar can track up to 100 targets concurrently. The Patriot's proven combat record—including effective deployments in several wars—showcases its dependability and flexibility in response to new dangers. Maintaining its relevance in modern warfare, recent modifications have improved its capability against tactical ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.
