 MIM-104 Patriot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patriot is the only ABM (anti ballistic missile) system to have successfully engaged and destroyed a tactical ballistic missile (TBM) in combat and the only SAM system which has successfully provided a maneuver force with tactical ballistic missile protection.
PATRIOT was designed with proximity fuzed warheads, which are designed to explode immediately prior to hitting a target spraying shrapnel out in a fan in front of the missile, either destroying or disabling the target.
Patriot was developed at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, which had previously developed the Spartan and Safeguard ABM systems.
