Scope Of Work
For almost four decades, KBR has continuously provided mission-critical technical and engineering services for the PATRIOT missile system. PATRIOT is the most mature weapon in the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) and a critical component of our nation’s air and missile defense. PATRIOT protects ground forces and high-value assets by countering a variety of enemy short- and medium-range tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and unmanned air vehicles (UAV).
KBR’s work directly supports the PATRIOT missile system, as well as adjunct systems. We perform all engineering changes; modification retrofits; technical upgrades; reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) improvements; and training development for the U.S. and its allies. Our work enhances the PATRIOT system performance and ability to protect U.S. forces against evolving threats.
Project Highlights
Provided systems engineering, integration and test support during the planning, execution and analysis phases of the largest and most complex missile defense flight test ever attempted.
Provided systems engineering support to program office for the Army’s next generation PATRIOT radar program.
Provided program management and system engineering support to the program office for the successful full-rate production (FRP) decision on the PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) missile.
