By: Jen Judson 1 day ago
WASHINGTON — Sweden has chosen the Raytheon-manufactured Patriot for its new air and missile defense system following a competition that pitted it against French consortium Eurosam’s SAMP/T.
The Swedish government has greenlighted the country’s defense materiel administration — FMV — to proceed with negotiations to buy Patriot. Sweden will send a letter of request for a letter of offer and acceptance to the U.S. government to initiate the process, according to Nov. 7 announcement posted to the FMV’s website.
The contract is estimated to be valued at roughly 10 billion krona (U.S. $1.2 billion).
