Introduction:

Raytheon, an RTX business, has been secured a $529 million contract to provide the Netherlands with a Patriot® air and missile defense system fire unit and associated equipment in Ukraine, Europe.

Features:

Patriot® is the world’s only combat-proven ground-based air and missile defense system capable of countering advanced long-range cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, and a full spectrum of air-breathing threats.

As the foundation of air defense for 19 countries, the system continues to demonstrate its effectiveness against sophisticated aerial threats and large-scale complex attacks.

"Raytheon is committed to partnering with the Dutch as they enhance their integrated air and missile defense capabilities," said Pete Bata, senior vice president of Global Patriot at Raytheon. "The Netherlands' investment in the Patriot system strengthens collective security and deterrence across Europe."

The $529 million direct commercial sales contract includes a single Patriot fire unit, comprising a radar, launchers, command and control stations, and additional support equipment. Work on this contract will primarily take place in Andover, Massachusetts, and Huntsville, Alabama.
