Raytheon Signs $3.7 Billion Contract for Patriot GEM-T Interceptors for Ukraine

Raytheon, an RTX business, signed a $3.7 billion contract to supply Patriot GEM-T interceptors for Ukraine. The agreement focuses on increasing production capacity tied to delivery and inventory replenishment.

Raytheon said it planned a GEM-T production facility in Schrobenhausen, Germany, to support a direct commercial sale and other contracts. The facility was described as a way to support supply chain resiliency and help replenish Ukraine’s interceptor inventory.

The GEM-T interceptor is part of the Patriot air and missile defense system. The release described GEM-T as designed to intercept all types of airborne threats, including tactical ballistic missiles, and identified PAC-2 Guidance Enhanced Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) as a primary effector.

The production facility in Schrobenhausen would be operated by COMLOG, a joint venture between Raytheon and MBDA Deutschland. Raytheon President Phil Jasper said, “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,” and added, “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.”
