The Bush administration announced plans to sell advanced anti-missile systems to the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait with a combined potential value of nearly $10.4 billion.
The Pentagon told Congress the United Arab Emirates had asked about buying 288 Patriot Advanced Capability PAC-3 missiles and related gear worth up to $9 billion.
The prime contractors for the proposed sale would be Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a notice to lawmakers.
