Company investments and European partnerships driving production increases
Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: 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.
"Raytheon is focused on maximizing production capacity, ensuring a steady, reliable supply of these combat-proven interceptors for the U.S. and allies like Ukraine who rely on Patriot to protect their citizens, infrastructure and sovereignty," said Raytheon President Phil Jasper. "Raytheon is investing heavily to increase GEM-T production to support growing global demand, driven by major internal and partner investments, second‑sourcing initiatives and the expansion of our global supply chain."
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.
