Rising tensions in world hot spots continued motivating the development of missile system technologies this year. Russia's sale of sophisticated weapons to Iran following the nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration and ballistic missile tests by North Korea have prompted renewed interest in air and missile defense systems. The US Army funded improvements to the Patriot Air and Missile Defense system developed by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. Among these upgrades are the Patriot Advanced Capabffity-3 Missile Segment Enhancement, or PAC-3 MSE, a high-velocity hit-to-kill interceptor with a dual-pulse solid rocket motor and larger control fins providing nearly double the range and increased maneuverability.
