The combat-proven Patriot is the world’s most advanced air and missile defense system. With over 200 fire units fielded worldwide, it is a system of choice for 12 nations around the globe, including the U.S. and five NATO nations.
Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems is the prime contractor for Patriot — a long-range, high-altitude, all-weather system — and the systems integrator for the PAC-3 missile.
All Patriot system components provide the warfighter a reliable and lethal capability to defeat advanced threats, including aircraft, tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and UAVs in current and future operational combat environments.
