Athens (AFP) Feb 17, 2009
NATO subsidiary NAMSA renewed its contract with Greek electronics firm Intracom for the maintenance of its European arsenal of Patriot missiles, the company announced on Tuesday.

The contract covered the maintenance of Patriot air-defence missiles in Germany, Greece, the Netherlands and Spain, said the statement from Intracom Defense Electronics.

Intracom did not say how much the contract was worth, but its first three-year contract with the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency, signed in November 2006, was worth five million euros (6.3 million dollars).
