Bahrain signs new Raytheon Patriot System deal
Raytheon will provide the Kingdom of Bahrain with Patriot air and missile defence systems as part of a new $551 million contract.
The company confirmed the contract in a statement on 9 March but the contract was signed by both parties in late January 2020.
Tom Laliberty, VP of Integrated Air and Missile Defence at Raytheon said: ‘Raytheon’s Patriot provides the Kingdom of Bahrain and 16 other countries around the globe with a combat-proven system that protects citizens, infrastructure and armed forces from a broad spectrum of threats.’
The US Army is the contracting agency.
