Japanese Troops Conduct Successful Patriot Firings At Fort Bliss

Annual Practice Overseen By Raytheon

Two Japanese Patriot crews recently engaged targets in a successful practice firing at Fort Bliss, TX. Raytheon provided operational support for the annual service practice conducted by Japan Air Self-Defense Force troops.

"From Raytheon's perspective, all visual indications and initial data readings support a successful mission," said Dan Smith, president of Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems. "The results of this annual service practice are indicative of the system's reliability and the high readiness of Japanese Patriot crews."

Raytheon IDS engineers provided operational support that included intermediate maintenance and data collection and analysis validating intercept parameters.

The company is the prime contractor for the Patriot system and integration of all variants. Japan is one of 10 nations that employ the Patriot as a key component of its air and missile defense program.
