#2 Back in 1985, the then West German MOD spent a pretty sum of money at the US Army's missile development command, Huntsville, AL, for a study on employing the Patriot anti-aircraft missile as an anti-theater ballistic missile system. With funding secured by then Indiana Senator Quayle, the US Army and the West German governments then funded the developement of what you see today as the Patriot in the anti-missile role.
