PATRIOT is a highly sophisticated Army Air Defense Guided Missile system designed to be effective against aircraft at all altitudes. This paper describes the planned corrective actions and their potential RAM impacts that were required to meet fielding requirements. The successful implementation of the current growth plan has resulted in a demonstrated reliability of the fielded system that is twice the reliability requirement. The development of an approach for long-term growth that can be adapted to any improvement program is also described. This approach takes advantage of failure data, technological advancements, diagnostcis, redesign, and production techniques.
