TEWKSBURY, Mass., March 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army modified its contract with Raytheon for the company to continue providing the Patriot Missile Field Surveillance program with missile support.

U.S. company Raytheon says its contract with the Army Aviation and Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal in Alabama was modified. Under the $11.9 million deal, Raytheon will continue to provide the Patriot Missile Field Surveillance program with support services.

The new contract, which modifies the company's task order awarded in January 2008, is for Raytheon to continue providing Patriot missile manufacturing, assembly and testing as part of the Patriot Air and Missile Defense program.

"This work supports all Patriot customers -- the (United States) and our 11 international partners -- that have selected the combat-proven Patriot as the foundation of their air and missile defense strategy," Sanjay Kapoor, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems Patriot Programs vice president, said in a statement.

"Raytheon is committed to supporting the operation of Patriot missile facilities with technical personnel, materials and test-related data to ensure the system performance and mission readiness of all Patriot systems."
