The program encompasses the procurement and sustainment of missile systems, associated radar and control equipment, training systems, and supporting components essential for air defense operations.
Contract awards under this program range from small purchases of specialized cable assemblies ($2,454) to major system modifications ($70.9 million), with typical performance periods of 6-24 months. Primary contractors include Raytheon Company's Land & Air Defense Systems division, which serves as the key provider of PATRIOT system components and modifications.
