Saudi Arabia has signed a $1.7bn deal with Raytheon, the world's largest missile maker, to upgrade its missile defense system, the company said Tuesday.

The contract will overhaul the Gulf state's existing Patriot Air and Missile Defence System, Raytheon said in a statement from the Paris Air Show.

The six oil exporting Gulf states have been spending billions of dollars in recent years on the latest defense systems. The region is forecast to spend as much as $100bn in the next few years in overhauling their military, in part to counter the perceived threat posed by Iran.

The UAE was in March named the region's largest arms importer and the sixth largest buyer of weapons worldwide by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
