The NATO Support and Procurement Agency has announced that Sweden has joined a coalition of nations to procure up to 1,000 Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missiles (GEM-T).
Raytheon, an RTX business, was awarded a USD 478 million contract from the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to supply additional GEM-T missiles to Germany.
PATROT remains one of NATO’s most reliable air defence systems, currently used by eight European nations to defend against cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, drones, and aircraft.
Sener will be Raytheon’s partner to contribute to European GEM-T missile development and production, thus reinforcing the Spanish industry role in designing and manufacturing of actuation and control system technologies.
The GEM-T missile, a crucial component of the PATRIOT air defence system, is designed to counter cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hostile drones, and aircraft.
Sener will directly contribute to missile production in Europe in support of the recently awarded GEM-T contract by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) for a quantity of up to 1,000 missiles.
GEM-T is a primary effector for the combat-proven PATRIOT air defence system.
The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) will support a coalition of nations with a contract for a combined quantity of up to 1,000 PATRIOT Guidance Enhanced Missiles (GEM-T), if all options are exercised.
In December this year COMLOG Gesellschaft für Logistik delivered the first Patriot GEM-T air defence missile to the German Air Force.
