MISSILE DEFENCE UPDATE
Every day, missile defence systems safeguard
hundreds of millions of people across
Europe, identifying and responding to the
unprecedented security challenges coming
from multiple sides. These advanced, proven,
interoperable systems ensure Europe has
capabilities that will keep it safe.
Sustaining this level of protection requires
smart, strategic investments by the member
states of NATO and the European Union. Many
of these countries are users of Raytheon’s
Patriot Air and Missile Defense system
and other defensive systems, which offer
the best technology and the best value to
taxpayers. This issue of the Missile Defence
Update highlights the recent advancements,
investments and strategies that allow
European countries to rise to the challenge
of stopping these threats.
