从1984年开始,根据陆军导弹司令部的计划对美国陆军/雷锡恩公司的“爱国者”导弹系统进行了改进,耗资1.4亿美元。该系统已摧毁了伊拉克射向沙特和以色列的“飞毛腿”战术弹道式导弹。 在海湾战争中,“爱国者”拦截“飞毛腿B”和它的叫作A1—候赛因导弹的增程型是该系统首次在实战中使用,这个事实证明,为使一个系统能对付新的威胁,用修改计算机软件的办法能取得什么结果。 Since 1984, the Army / Raytheon Patriot missile system has been improved at an estimated cost of $ 140 million based on the Army Missile Command program. The system has destroyed Iraq’s “Scud” tactical ballistic missiles directed at Saudi Arabia and Israel. The “Patriots” interception of Scud B and its extended-range A1-Hussein missile during the Gulf War was the first such system to be used in actual combat. This fact proves that in order for a system to deal with new Threats, with the computer software to amend the method can achieve what results.
