The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said recently it notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale (FMS) of 11 Patriot Configuration-3 modernized fire units and associated parts and support to Qatar worth an estimated $9.9 billion, according to a DSCA statement.
In addition to the 11 Patriot Configuration-3 modernized fire units, Qatar also requests 11 AN/MPQ-65 radar sets, 11 AN/MSQ-132 engagement control systems, 30 antenna mast groups, 44 M902 launching stations, 246 Patriot MIM-104E Guidance Enhanced Missile-TBM (GEM-T) with canisters, 10 PAC-3 test missiles with canisters, 11 Electrical Power Plants (EPPII), eight Multifunctional Information Distribution Systems/Low Volume Terminals (MIDS/LVTs), communications equipment and associated parts and support.
The deal is contingent on Congress’ approval.
Main contractors in the deal would be Raytheon [RTN] and Lockheed Martin [LMT].
This is the second major Foreign Military Sale Qatar has requested in less than a week as it requested $6.5 billion-worth of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) fire units and associated equipment Nov. 2.
