•
•120m minimum safe distance for radiation from the RS (crewmembers)
•
•Launchers can be utilized to engage targets if they are located within ±80° of the PTL
§Launchers beyond these limits cannot be used to engage targets unless the RS is reoriented so that they are within the azimuth limits.
§For LSs in the range to each side of RS PTL, these may lose coverage if RS is trained to a STL.
•
•If VHF communications are used, line-of-sight is required to the Launcher (Both VHF and Fiber should be the standard).

RSOP RL3 issues
RSOP issues for RL-3
The primary function of remote launchers is to intercept TBMs as a Launcher Farm
- There should be a minimum of 2 PAC-3 LSs for a Remote Launcher Farm.
- The missile load for remote launchers should be GEM-T, PAC-3, or MSE (p. 5- 49)
- Remote LS emplacement is constrained by RS to LS communications and by missile acquisition (p. 5-52)
- Communications line-of-sight (LOS) is required for both local and remote launchers (p. 5-52)
- Remote Launchers should be automatically emplaced by gaining FU
RL3
- Configuration 3 hardware with PDB-5
- Software extended the launcher emplacement range to a maximum of 30Km
- Minimum phase 3 remote launcher emplacement range is 6Km
•
- Phase 3 remote launchers
- Must be located in the area within ±10° of the radar PTL/STL
•
•Launchers deployed in the Phase 3 remote launch zone are organized in farms; each farm will be under the control of a Launcher Control Station (modified CRG) or ECS configured as a LCS.
Remote Launch Azimuth region
•Remote Launchers are deployed at distances between 1.3Km (RL-1) and 30Km (RL-3) from the RS and must remain in the radars fan of view.
•
•Launchers can be utilized to engage targets (that are in front of the LS) if they are located within:
±60° of the RS PTL for RL-1.
+10o of the RS PTL for RL-3 LSs (p. C-7)
§Launchers beyond these limits cannot be used to engage targets unless the RS is reoriented so that they are within the azimuth limits.

Local / Remote Launcher Elevation Emplacement Requirements
•Terrain or man-made features between RS and LS exceeding 2.0° elevation (Local), 2.0° to 0.5° elevation (Near-Remote), or 0.5° elevation (Far-Remote) will impede missile acquisition
Launcher Placement in Elevation
Relative to Radar
•Launchers within ±60° of Radar PTL have no elevation restrictions, however:
§Launcher locations at or below the radar elevation are preferred
•
•Local Launchers in the ± 60° to ± 80° zones from the Radar PTL should be located as close to the Radar altitude as possible to avoid severe beam-steering angles which may degrade the probability of missile acquisition
Radar – Launcher Elevation Constraints (RS Above LS)
•Within ±60° of Radar PTL, the restriction on the elevation difference between the Radar and Launcher is dependent on range.
•Within ±60° of Radar PTL, there is no restriction on the elevation difference between the Radar and Launcher provided:
–The Launcher is within the emplacement zone
–The Radar can acquire the missile
–The Radar can maintain communication with the
missile throughout flight
Unobstructed Angular Zone Around Radar-to-Launcher LOS
- The PATRIOT missile is capable of making sharp turns shortly after launch. A sufficient unobstructed field-of-view from the Radar to the Launcher and to areas on either side of the Launcher is required to ensure missile acquisition by the Radar.
- The angular size of this unobstructed field-of-view varies according to the distance of the Launcher from the Radar.
