PAC-3 (Patriot Advanced Capability-3)

The Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) is a missile defense system designed to identify and intercept incoming threats, such as ballistic missiles and aircraft. Developed by Raytheon, it enhances the original Patriot missile system with advanced technology that allows it to engage multiple targets simultaneously. The PAC-3 uses sophisticated radar and guidance systems to track and destroy enemy missiles at high altitudes, contributing to national and allied defense. This system is crucial for protecting military forces and civilian areas from aerial attacks, providing a vital layer of security in modern warfare contexts.
