Patriot is a long-range, all-altitude, all-weather, advanced surface-to-air guided air and missile defence system used by several Nato countries.

It is designed to counter tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and advanced aircraft.

Patriot is in service throughout the US, Germany, Greece, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Korea, Poland, Sweden, Qatar, the UAE, Romania, Spain and Taiwan.

For more than four decades, KBR has been providing advisory and assistance services associated with research and development (R&D), production, deployment, as well as sustainment for the PATRIOT defence system.

Last August, KBR secured a $165m task order for a project within the US Army Program Executive Office Missiles and Space.
