Companies’ strategies to increase production of Patriot missiles

…have recently signed letters of offer and acceptance for Raytheon’s Integrated Defense Systems to begin delivery of the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement, the official designation for the PAC-3 MSE. The U.S. has its own PAC-3 MSE production line in Camden, but overseas customers must shop out theirs.Although Germany and the U.S. are both investing in the PAC-3 MSE missile system, their respective projects will not directly interact with one another. But the buy is intended for maximum flexibility on both sides, said Laliberty, as Germany’s acquisition will be integrated into the U.S. program’s high rate of production. Other foreign military sales have come from Croatia, Poland, the United Arab Emirates and Sweden, he added.
