Jenoptik has secured contracts from the US Government to supply spare components for the Patriot integrated air and missile defense system. Valued at more than $35 million, the contracts include the delivery of spare parts for electric generators, which provide energy to the defense system, as well as engine kits, reset kits and recapitalisation kits for the systems. By keeping the power generating equipment in operational condition, the kits will support the US Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) maintenance programme.
