NATO SUMMIT: NSPA contributes to NATO's enhanced air defence capabilities with contract for Stinger missiles
NATO SUMMIT - Washington D.C., 9 July 2024 - The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) continues to play a central role in supporting NATO’s deterrence and defence capabilities.
On the margins of this year’s NATO Summit in Washington D.C. and further to the approval from the U.S. Department of State of a Foreign Military Sale (FMS), NSPA signed a contract for Stinger® missiles awarded on behalf of Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, through the US Government, to RTX.
NSPA, acting as the Lead Nation on behalf of Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, requested to buy nine hundred forty (940) FIM-92K Stinger® Block I Missiles. The Agency awarded the contract through the STINGER Support Partnership framework, established in 1990 and serving eight Allies and one Associate State.
The contract includes Battery Coolant Units (BCU), metal containers, U.S. Government and contractor production, technical, and engineering assistance as well as other related elements of logistics and programme support.

Belangrijke wijzigingen
Het project loopt langer door omdat door de fabrikant de uitlevering van de serieproductie naar achteren is geschoven. Dit wordt veroorzaakt door prioritering van de steun aan Oekraïne, het opzetten van een nieuwe productielijn en schaarste in de toeleveringsketen. Het projectbudget is aangepast als gevolg van een prijsbijstelling.
