Memorandum of Understanding between Romaero and Raytheon

Romaero SA Bucharest (Romania) and Raytheon (US), which provides Patriot missile systems for Romania, have signed, on Wednesday, a Memorandum of Understanding for future collaboration.

RRA Reporter Petruța Obrejan: Romanians will contribute to production and maintenance of each Patriot system delivered to the country, the most advanced air and missile defense system today, which was also highlighted by Michelle DeMaio, Raytheon’s Romania Patriot program manager.

Michelle DeMaio: "This Memorandum of Understanding is a first step for Romaero to become part of Raytheon's approved supply chain and to start develop logistical support and maintenance opportunities for these systems".

As Romanian Prime Minister Viorica Dăncilă said, signing of the MoU between Romaero and Raytheon shows the potential of the Romanian industry to strengthen defense capabilities in as many areas of operations, by using expertise and knowledge to get products and high level services.

PM Viorica Dăncilă: "Romaero will be able to export its production at a global level. Signing of this Memorandum of Understanding will set the basis for local industrial collaboration in the Patriot program, a new, simply defensive system that saves lives. Patriot was the best choice for both the defense of our country and our citizens and for full compliance with commitments we took as members of the North Atlantic Alliance".
