Raytheon announces Patriot system order
Raytheon has been awarded a contract to deliver its Patriot Air and Missile Defense System to an undisclosed international customer, the company announced on 17 April.
The contract is worth over $2 billion and was booked as a direct commercial sale. It includes fully-digitised new-production Patriot fire units with the latest technology for threat detection, identification and engagement.
The contract will also see Raytheon provide support equipment for the system and a full training package to the customer.
Daniel Crowley, president, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, said: 'In the past five months Qatar, Korea and now this international partner have all chosen Raytheon's Global Patriot solution because they have confidence in the world's most advanced air and missile defence system.
'Including this most recent contract, Raytheon has booked more than $5 billion in international Patriot orders since late December 2014.'
