Pete Bata, senior vice president of Global Patriot at Raytheon said: "Raytheon is committed to providing Romania with advanced integrated air and missile defense capabilities to protect its citizens and critical infrastructure.
"Romania's continued investment in Patriot is a testament to the nation's dedication to ensuring collective security, deterrence and stability across Europe."
Raytheon continues to partner with local Romanian defence companies as part of its Patriot global supply chain network.
Patriot is the only combat-proven ground-based air and missile defence capability in the world able to defend against advanced long-range cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles and the full spectrum of air-breathing threats. Patriot is the foundation of air defence for 19 countries and the system continues to demonstrate its effectiveness against advanced aerial threats and massive complex raid attacks.
