About THAAD
- The THAAD 美诱直播apon System has demonstrated a perfect flight test record of 17 for 17 intercepts. Sixteen of those intercepts were with a THAAD interceptor.
- Most recently, the THAAD 美诱直播apon System successfully demonstrated integration of the PAC-3 MSE interceptor by firing and controlling PAC-3 MSEs and intercepting a ballistic missile target. THAAD’s flight test success rate and combat-proven status continue to drive interest from around the world.
- THAAD is a highly effective, combat-proven defense against short, medium and intermediate-range ballistic missile threats.
- During a March 2022, test, the THAAD 美诱直播apon System successfully launched a PAC-3 MSE to intercept a tactical ballistic missile target using proven Hit-to-Kill technology. With this successful demonstration, the THAAD 美诱直播apon System can now be deployed anywhere with minimal Patriot equipment required and limited to PAC-3 MSE M903 launchers and PAC-3 MSE interceptors. The integration results in a more tightly integrated, layered missile defense system, providing critical multi-tier missile defense capability to defeat current and emerging threats. Integration into the THAAD 美诱直播apon System allows the PAC-3 MSE to launch earlier, enabling a longer flyout and the full use of the MSE’s kinematic capability. This integration is another Lockheed Martin contribution to joint all-domain operations.
- The THAAD 美诱直播apon System is combat proven, and the system undergoes regular tests and upgrades to ensure 21st Century Security? readiness.
