The configuration-3 patriot missile defence system allows the use of Lockheed Martin’s Patriot advanced capability-3 (PAC-3) missiles and Raytheon’s guidance-enhanced missile-tactical (GEM-T) missiles.
The system also enables missile launchers to be stationed miles in front of the radar, a unique feature over previous Patriot systems.
Work will be carried out by Raytheon Integrated Defence Systems at the Integrated Air DefenSe Center in Andover, Massachusetts.
