Norway plans to purchase NASAMS air defence and new missiles

The Norwegian government has announced investment plans to strengthen air defence in Norway by ordering new NASAMS air defence systems from Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KONGSBERG).

The proposed investments include eight launcher units and four fire control centers for NASAMS, replacing equipment donated to Ukraine earlier this year.

The Norwegian authorities also announced plans to buy new missiles for air defence vehicles and three different missiles for NASAMS with various range capabilities.

Notably, the NASAMS missiles will be ordered directly from the supplier, Raytheon of the US.

The investments are subject to Norwegian parliamentary approval, and individual contracts will be announced when they have been concluded.
