WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. State Division has accepted the potential sale of an anti-drone system to Qatar in a deal valued at $1 billion, the Pentagon stated on Tuesday.

The principal contractors will probably be Raytheon Applied sciences (NYSE:) Corp, SRC and Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:), the Pentagon stated in a press release. It added that the Pentagon’s Protection Safety Cooperation Company notified Congress of the potential sale on Tuesday.
