'I think ... sometime this spring, we'll get some positive news that the two governments have reached an agreement' on the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence system, said Dennis Cavin, Lockheed Martin vice president for international air and missile defence.
'The discussions started way back in 2007 when the Emirati government expressed interest in an integrated air and missile defence system,' he said at a defence exposition in Abu Dhabi.
The missile defence consists of 'the Patriot PAC-3 system, the THAAD system and then the integration' of the two."

NATO Missile Defense for Europe
NATO has agreed to provide ballistic missile defense or BMD for all of Europe. This NATO BMD will protect NATO (European and American) military forces in Europe. It will also – for the very first time – protect the civilian population throughout Europe from ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction launched from the Middle East.
Much of this NATO missile defense for Europe – known as the European Phased Adaptive Approach – will actually be provided by the United States armed forces. This will include seaborne AEGIS missile defense on board US Navy ships in the Mediterranean, as well as land based radars and interceptor missiles.
This e-book describes how NATO missile defense for Europe will be organized and implemented.
