Raytheon Secures NATO Contract for GEM-T Missile Supply to Germany

Raytheon, an RTX business, was awarded a US$478 million contract from the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to supply additional GEM-T missiles to Germany.

This contract supports the replenishment of Patriot missiles donated by Germany to Ukraine. Showing support for Ukraine, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway have agreed to participate in financing this procurement.
 
“Our customers are realising the benefits of bundled, multi-national procurement of Patriot missiles through NSPA, including the economies that offer greater affordability and the pre-negotiated contracting framework that shortens the acquisition timeline,” said Tom Laliberty, president of Land and Air Defense Systems at Raytheon. “As a result, not only can we better support the missile inventories for these European partners, but also strengthen our cooperation, their interoperability, and their contribution to an essential NATO mission.”
 
GEM-T, the Patriot Advanced Capability 2 (PAC-2) missile interceptor enhanced for defeating tactical ballistic missiles, is a primary effector for the combat-proven Patriot air and missile defence system. Eight European nations and Ukraine rely on Patriot for defence against cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, enemy drones, and aircraft. The system is the foundation of air defence for 19 countries, and it continues to demonstrate its effectiveness against the most advanced and complex threats.
