E-62nd Thaad And Patriot Interop Success
Fires Bulletin
|July-August 2018
During their first ever Missile Defense Agency Flight Test, Soldiers from Battery E, 62nd Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade and 4th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade conducted a Congressionally mandated interoperability test between the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense and Patriot weapons at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico April 6, 2018.
The test was designated Flight Test Other-35 (FTX-35) and was executed by MDA as an operational test with Army Test and Evaluation Command and Director of Operational Test and Evaluation oversight.
While the Army has plans to further integrate the two weapon systems within the next two years, this testing focused on what can be done now. Prior to the test, E-62nd THAAD made history while stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. They were the first THAAD unit to qualify on the weapon system, breaking in their new site on West Fort Hood. After receiving equipment, the unit was designated as the test battery for the Army’s THAAD program which prompted them to assume the mission of FTX-35.
FTX-35 progressed in three phases, which led to the culminating live-fire event. The success of the mission ultimately means a more layered defense for the air defense community and is slowly shaping the future of the way air defense fights.
