Raytheon, an RTX business, signed a contract for $3.7 Billion to supply Patriot GEM-T interceptors for Ukraine. The new GEM-T production facility in Schrobenhausen, Germany, is planned to play a key role supporting this direct commercial sale and other contracts, ensuring supply chain resiliency and helping to replenish Ukraine's interceptor inventory. The facility is operated by COMLOG, a joint venture between Raytheon and MBDA Deutschland.
The Patriot Advanced Capability-2 (PAC-2) Guidance Enhanced Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) -- designed for intercepting all types of airborne threats, including tactical ballistic missiles -- is a primary effector for the combat-proven Patriot air and missile defense system. Patriot is the foundation of air defense for 19 countries, and the system continues to demonstrate its effectiveness against nearly every type of airborne threat.
