Defense Department Makes Case to Allies for Merging Patriot, MEADS The U.S. Defense Department last week tried to assure some of its international missile defense collaborators that the merger of the Medium Extended Air Defense System and the Patriot missile defense system will be a boon, Inside Missile Defense reported today (see GSN, Aug. 15). Acting Pentagon acquisition chief Michael Wynne made the case to Jorg Kaempf, Germany’s director general of armaments, in an Aug. 28 letter. Wynne said that the merger will allow the United States, Germany and Italy — the MEADS partners — to meet system requirements, speed up the deployment and lower costs. Wynne’s director of international cooperation will lead a meeting in Washington next week with representatives from Germany and Italy (Daniel Dupont, Inside Missile Defense, Sept. 3).
