As part of the proposed sale, the US Government or contractor representatives will provide equipment de-processing / fielding and new equipment training in Bahrain.
Raytheon Missile Systems will serve as the principal contractor for the sale, which will help improve the security of a major non-Nato ally and also contribute to the US’s foreign policy and national security.
The missiles will be used by Bahrain to advance its efforts to develop an integrated ground defence capability, deter regional threats and boost homeland defence.
