Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (‘KONGSBERG’) has signed a contract worth about NOK 6.5 billion for the delivery of the Joint Strike Missile to Germany.
On 5 June 2025, KONGSBERG announced that Germany had selected the JSM for its F-35 fighter jets, while contract negotiations were ongoing. The contract between the parties has now been signed.
“We are pleased to welcome Germany as the fifth country to select the JSM. The acquisition confirms the missile’s position as the natural partner to the F-35, and further strengthens the already strong bonds between KONGSBERG and German industry on a range of projects, including missiles, submarines and weapon stations,” said Øyvind Kolset, Executive Vice President, missiles and pace, at Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
