Den MIM-104 Patriot er et bakke-til-luft-missilsystem (SAM), det primære i sitt slag som brukes av den amerikanske hæren og flere allierte nasjoner. Den er produsert av den amerikanske forsvarsentreprenøren Raytheon og har fått navnet sitt fra radarkomponenten i våpensystemet. AN/MPQ-53 i hjertet av systemet er kjent som "Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target" som er et backronym for PATRIOT. Patriot-systemet erstattet Nike Hercules-systemet som den amerikanske hærens primære HIMAD-system (High to Medium Air Defense), og erstattet MIM-23 Hawk-systemet som den amerikanske hærens middels taktiske luftvernsystem. I tillegg til disse rollene har Patriot fått funksjonen til den amerikanske hærens anti-ballistiske missilsystem (ABM), som nå er Patriots primære oppdrag. Systemet forventes å forbli i bruk til minst 2040

General Characteristics and Role
The MIM-104 Patriot (Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept Of Target) is a highly capable surface-to-air missile (SAM) system used by the United States Army and many allied nations. It was originally designed to engage aircraft but was modernized to counter tactical ballistic missiles (TBMs) and cruise missiles. The Patriot system is not a single vehicle but a highly integrated mobile battery, consisting of several key components linked by fiber optics and radio, including the Engagement Control Station (ECS), a power plant, and, most critically, the MPQ-53/65 Phased-Array Radar and the M901 Launching Station. Patriot batteries are typically deployed to protect high-value military assets, population centers, and critical infrastructure from air attack.
| Component | Description / Platform |

| System Role | Air and Missile Defense (AMD) |
| National Origin | USA |
| Produsenten | Raytheon |
| Service Entry | 1984 |
| Primary Missile | PAC-2 (Patriot Advanced Capability-2) and PAC-3 |
| Radar Unit | AN/MPQ-53/65 (Phased-Array) |

Missile and Performance (PAC-3 MSE Variant)
- Missile Type: The PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) is the primary interceptor. It uses hit-to-kill technology (kinetic energy) rather than a blast fragmentation warhead.
- Guidance: Track-Via-Missile (TVM), combining ground radar tracking with missile-borne radar updates.
- Range (Approximate): Up to 150 km (93 mi) (PAC-2); 40 km (25 mi) for PAC-3 interceptors.
- Altitude (Approximate): 20 km+ (12 mi+).
- Launcher Capacity: An M901 station can hold 4 PAC-2 missiles OR 16 PAC-3 MSE missiles, increasing the launch power per station dramatically.
- Key Capability: Can engage multiple targets simultaneously and is specifically designed to intercept highly maneuverable ballistic missiles.
Radar and Engagement Control
- Radar Role: The AN/MPQ-65 radar performs search, identification, track, missile guidance, and counter-countermeasures functions.
- Radar Type: Passive electronically scanned array (PESA).
- Engagement Control Station (ECS): The command center where the crew monitors the air picture, identifies threats, and commands the firing units.
- Mobility: The entire system is mounted on trailers and trucks, allowing it to be relocated quickly, though setup and tear-down times are measured in hours, not minutes.
