Raytheon, an RTX business, was awarded a $627 million contract to supply the Netherlands with Patriot® air and missile defense system equipment.
The direct commercial sales contract includes radars, launchers, and command and control stations.
“Raytheon continues to partner with the Dutch government to modernize its integrated air and missile defense capabilities to deter aggression,” said Pete Bata, senior vice president of Global Patriot at Raytheon. “Raytheon is accelerating production to deliver these critical systems quickly.”
Backed by a world-class command-and-control system, Patriot is the only combat-proven ground-based air and missile defense capability that can defend against advanced long-range cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, and the full spectrum of air-breathing threats. Patriot is the foundation of air defense for 19 countries, including nine European nations, and the system continues to demonstrate its effectiveness against advanced aerial threats and massive complex raid attacks.
