MISSLE SYSTEMS PROGRAMS
Weapons Systems – the U.S. armed forces protect the land, sea and air with the most technologically advanced weapons systems on the planet. Pioneer is a major supplier to programs such as PAC-3 , THAAD , Javelin , M-1 tank and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle.
Pioneer Circuits supports PAC 3
The Patriot Advanced Capability 3 missile a high medium advanced surface-to-air guided missile air defense system.
Lockheed Martin is producing the combat-proven Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile under production contracts from the U.S. Army Air and Missile Defense Program EXECUTIVE OFFICE and multiple international customers. The PAC-3 Missile is being incorporated into the Patriot air defense system.
The hit to kill PAC-3 Missile is the world’s most advanced, capable and powerful terminal air defense missile. It defeats the entire threat: tactical ballistic missiles (TBMs), cruise missiles and aircraft.
The PAC-3 Missile is a quantum leap ahead of any other air defense missile when it comes to the ability to protect the Warfighter in their defining moments.
The PAC-3 Missile is a high velocity interceptor that defeats INCOMING targets by direct, body-to-body impact.
Pioneer Circuits supports Thaad
The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), formerly Theater High Altitude Area Defense, is a United States Army anti-ballistic missile system designed to shoot down SHORT, medium, and intermediate ballistic missiles in their terminal phase using a hit-to-kill approach.
The missile carries no warhead but relies on the kinetic energy of the impact to destroy the incoming missile.
A kinetic energy hit minimizes the risk of exploding conventional warhead ballistic missiles, and nuclear tipped ballistic missiles won't explode upon a kinetic energy hit, although chemical or biological warheads may disintegrate or explode and pose a risk of contaminating the environment.
