Patriot - The Edge In Air Defense

Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸

Red (Mars), white (Moon), and blue (Earth) brought to you by the solar system.

Deeply skeptical it is physically possible to achieve these performance requirements at the requested price point. The glide vehicle alone would likely be a few million at least.

LRHW/CPS costs ~$40M per AUR for a reason. It isn’t all inefficiencies from cost-plus contracting.

L3Harris Technologies has broken ground on two new facilities to expand production capacity for the U.S. Army's PAC-3 MSE propulsion systems. The company is funding both buildings internally and will site them at its Arkansas Advanced Propulsion Facilities (AAPF) campus in Camden. The expansion adds a roughly 75,000 square foot cast, cure and final assembly building alongside a roughly 70,000 square foot case preparation building. 🔗 👇

US Army has amended its sole-source Justification & Approval (J&A) for the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 1, awarded to Lockheed Martin.

🔸The IDIQ ceiling ⬆️ from $4.9 to $13.3 bn

Ukraine’s Air Force released official footage showing a Patriot PAC-3 system intercepting two Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles during yesterday’s attack on Kyiv. #Ukraine

The weekend is here. You are cleared for takeoff. 🛫

JAGM features millimeter-wave (MMW) radar and semi-active laser (SAL) guidance. The cropped image below provides a closer look at the missile's dual-mode guidance section. Visible are its MMW and SAL sensors, which are coaxially aligned on a steerable gimbal.

Today, legacy structures at historic SLC-6 were safely cleared to make way for a new era of spaceflight. With an outgrant issued by the U.S. Space Force in 2025, SpaceX is now modernizing the pad to support next generation spacelift operations.

Alt history is now history.
Built for MOL.
Rebuilt for Shuttle.
Adapted for Athena.
Then Delta IV.

🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇦 There is a lot of important nuance on the EW vulnerability of SDB that neither Saab or Boeing are going to expound upon publicly. In short, optimizing the resilience of the munition for both its air-launched and ground-launched configurations was challenging.

Creators: @NASARoman is launching this summer, and you’re invited!

We're looking for storytellers to join us as our Roman Space Telescope lifts off to help answer some of the biggest questions about our universe. Applications close June 28 at 11:59pm ET: https://t.co/Bbk8fHPBUQ

Spoke with a SAAB representative for the GL-SDB project which told me that all contracted missiles have been delivered to Ukraine and that no new other has been placed so far.

The initial poor performance of the system came both from its extremely short development period and lack of proper training for the end user.

By the time the system had been dialled in the Russians had gotten to a point that they could easily jam the GPS guidance of the GBU-39 which Boeing is now working to solve.

This is exactly the kind of video I wanted to see from Artemis II - you can build a robotic spacecraft to get better imagery, but human reactions make it so much easier to connect across the vast distances involved.

Get ready for Earth joy!

Earlier today, we announced the four astronauts who will go to space on Artemis III —and shared the latest updates on the future of @NASAArtemis.

Introducing Artemis III.

Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown.

In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.
