   Infotext = [The Patriot is an Army surface-to-air, mobile, air defense missile system. Since the mid-1960s, 
   the system has evolved to defend against aircraft and cruise missiles, and more recently against short-range 
   ballistic missiles.
   
   The Patriot system was originally designed to operate in Europe against Soviet medium- to high-altitude aircraft 
   and cruise missiles traveling at speeds up to about MACH 2 (1500 mph). To avoid detection it was designed to be 
   mobile and operate for only a few hours at one location. 

   The Patriot operates as part of a battalion usually composed of six batteries. Each battery is made up of one 
   ground-based radar unit for surveillance and target detection, tracking, and engagement; an Engagement Control 
   Station for manual or automated command and control of the missile interceptors; eight missile launchers; and a 
   Communications Relay Group for communications support. An Information Coordination Center controls the batteries 
   and coordinates their operation with other battalions and higher level U.S. Command authorities. ]
