KONGSBERG has signed a contract worth about NOK 3.5 billion for the delivery of
Joint Strike Missiles to Germany.
In June 2025, Germany became the fifth country to select the JSM for its F-35
fighter jets. Now the German federation has signed a contract for further
deliveries of the missiles.
"The new order shows the importance of JSM for F-35, where Germany has started
building up its readiness level of the missiles," said Øyvind Kolset, Executive
Vice President, KONGSBERG and head of the Missiles and Aerostructures division.
The contract is structured as a government sale between Norway and Germany, with
Norway's Defence Material Agency (NDMA) acting as contract partner. Germany was
the fifth country to select the JSM alongside existing customers Norway, Japan,
Australia and the US.
"This agreement is another example of the strong bonds between KONGSBERG and
Germany, where we are engaged in a range of projects with local partners," said
Eirik Lie, President and Chief Executive Officer of KONGSBERG.
"When Norway and Germany entered into the historic Hansa Agreement earlier this
year, the goal was to establish even closer and more operational defence
cooperation between our two countries. The JSM agreements show how we are
already translating the strategic partnership into concrete capabilities that
strengthen both our own defences and NATO," said Tore O. Sandvik, Norway's
Minister of Defence.
"In addition to delivering strike missiles, combat systems for the 212CD
submarines and remote weapon stations, KONGSBERG is developing a new supersonic
strike missile with industry partners Diehl Defence and MBDA and we have teamed
up with Helsing and other partners to accelerate the realisation of critical
European space capabilities," said Lie.
