Two systems from Raytheon and Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) hit-to-kill missiles from Lockheed Martin — will be delivered to the Kuwaiti Armed Forces soon, according to a report published by Shephard Media on its website quoting industry officials.

;Kuwait country leader for Raytheon Gary Menke said the first firing unit that will be delivered is the latest Patriot standard known as Configuration 3. He explained, “There are definite capabilities increases over the original system, it’s much easier to maintain, mean time between failure is reduced and there are performance increases.”
