Than perhaps you can explain in what way did they improved low lvl detection?

FTA:

The GEM-T missile provides an upgraded capability to defeat air-breathing, cruise and ballistic missiles, as a compliment to the PAC-3 missile. The first upgrade forebodies were delivered to the US Army in November 2002.

Also:

A new Patriot advanced capability (PAC-3) missile has increased effectiveness against tactical ballistic and cruise missiles, through the use of advanced hit-to-kill technology.

Clearly the Iskander is not an ABT, however, given the capabilities of this system against TBMs, speed is not the issue.

Yes I read about improvments of the missiles itself but I was talking about detection ( radars :nutkick :) ) ... with witch Patriot has some problems detecting low flying cruise missiles ... has anything being done about it?

NATO will have more luck defending against them using fighter-interceptors. I know that in CONUS, AK and perhaps HI the USAF F-15s & F-22s are being planned to be given that task.
