WORLD MISSILES BRIEFING

摘要

The Defense Security and Cooperation Agency announced on 11 May 2017 that the State Department had approved a $2 billion potential sale to the United Arab Emirates for Patriot missiles. This is in response to a government of the United Arab Emirates request for the possible sale of sixty Patriot Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3) missiles with canisters and one hundred Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) missiles. Also included are canisters, tools and test equipment, support equipment, publications and technical documentation, spare and repair parts, U.S. Government and contractor technical, engineering and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics and program support. The UAE has fielded the Patriot system since 2009. The prime contractor for the PAC-3 Missile is Lockheed-Martin in Dallas, Texas. The prime contractor for the GEM-T missile is Raytheon Company in Andover, Massachusetts. There are no offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale. The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (AMCOM) currently maintains a field office in UAE in support of UAE Patriot systems.
