This case study explores the development of the Patriot PAC-2 and its historic deployment in the Gulf War from the vantage point of five senior technical managers. In addition to in-depth interviews with these senior managers U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (U.S. Army Missile Command) historical documents unclassified government reports and other public sources were reviewed for information regarding PAC-2 development. Patriot PAC-2 is a case study in effective project management that resulted in the extraordinary acceleration in the final stages of development production and deployment in time to play a historic role in the Gulf War. The Patriot PAC-2 lessons may benefit future project managers engaged in the final stages of system development prior to a major conflict.
