Spain to Modernise Air Defence Capabilities With New NASAMS Acquisitions

  • The government of Spain has announced its decision to modernise and acquire additional NASAMS air defence systems from Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace ('KONGSBERG') in a deal valued at approximately EUR 410 million.

On April 19, the Spanish Armaments Directorate,  Dirección General de Armamento y Material (DGAM), filed a notification of award for the NASAMS modernisation programme. This programme will significantly increase the existing NASAMS capability of Spain and further strengthen the cooperation between Spain and Norway.

The contract is expected to be signed in May 2024.

NASAMS is the world-leading medium-range air defence system, jointly offered by KONGSBERG and Raytheon.
