Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS was awarded a contract with the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA) to supply the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) for Norway?s fleet of F-35A Lightning II fighter aircrafts. The contract is valued at MNOK 3,950. The partnership between KONGSBERG, the Norwegian Armed Forces and Norwegian Defence Research Establishment in the definition, development and test of the JSM has been critical factor in developing a missile with such advanced capabilities. The JSM is a fifth-generation stealth air-to-surface missile developed to fulfill the F-35?s anti-surface warfare and land attack capability needs. The missile can be carried internally ensuring the aircraft?s low-signature capabilities, and it has superior performance against well-defended sea- and land targets across long distances.
