Marconi Technologies Awarded Contract to Deliver Critical Communications for Patriot Air and Missile Defense System Extends four decades of support to Patriot MONTRÉAL — NOV 2, 2026 — Marconi Technologies has been awarded two contracts totaling $5 million by Raytheon, an RTX business, to deliver Orion radios for the Patriot® air and missile defense system, continuing nearly four decades of uninterrupted support.
