Raytheon, an RTX business, was awarded a $627 million contract to supply the Netherlands with Patriot® air and missile defense system equipment.
The direct commercial sales contract includes radars, launchers, and command and control stations.

Backed by a world-class command-and-control system, Patriot is the only combat-proven ground-based air and missile defense capability that can defend against advanced long-range cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, and the full spectrum of air-breathing threats. Patriot is the foundation of air defense for 19 countries, including nine European nations, and the system continues to demonstrate its effectiveness against advanced aerial threats and massive complex raid attacks.

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE): A Valuable Option for Modern Designs
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007When it comes to designing PCBs and full systems for increasingly complex electronics hardware, who doesn’t want to reduce complexity and cost? Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) has emerged as a solution and is gaining rapid attention across industrial electronics and PCB design because it enables Ethernet communication over a single twisted pair, replacing the traditional two- or four-pair cabling used in standard Ethernet networks. This seemingly simple shift has significant implications for designers: smaller connectors, reduced cable weight, longer reach, and the ability to carry both data and power over a single pair.
