A national objective in the course of the exercise is the completion of the operationalization process of the second PATRIOT system which, by executing real firings in the Capu Midia range, will be certified „mission capable”.

RALY24 contributes to increasing interoperability between IAMD detachments, practices tactics, techniques and allied action procedures within a defensive operation.
