The scope of the contract includes the most current PATRIOT Configuration 3+ radars, launchers, command and control stations, associated spares, and support.
PATRIOT is the backbone of air defence for 19 countries, including Germany, the U.S. and Ukraine. The formidable, combat-proven performance of Patriot continues to demonstrate its effectiveness against the most advanced and complex threats.
“This contract reflects the global emphasis on advanced air and missile defence capabilities and the steadfast confidence in PATRIOT ,” said Tom Laliberty, president of Land and Air Defence Systems at Raytheon. “With this expansion, Germany will not only modernize its own significant air defence but enhance its interoperability with allies and further strengthen a core NATO mission.”
PATRIOT is the only combat-proven ground-based air and missile defence capability available in the world to defeat advanced long-range cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, and the full spectrum of air-breathing threats. Through investments by all PATRIOT partner nations, the technology is continuously refreshed, tested and upgraded.
