Qatar will pay RTX's subsidiary Raytheon $1 billion to expand the country's counter-drone capabilities.
Qatar is Raytheon's first international customer for its Fixed Site - Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aerial System Integrated Defeat System, which is designed to counter unmanned aircraft, the White House said Wednesday.
The deal was part of a broader effort by President Trump to increase Qatar's defense spending with the U.S., the White House said. It is part of a broader $1.2 trillion commitment aimed at strengthening trade with Qatar, and involves deals with other companies such as Boeing and GE Aerospace.
