The
Norwegian Government today presented a bill to the Parliament on the
completion of the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) and preparing it for integration
to the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). Pending Parliament
approval, for KONGSBERG this entails a continuous development and finalization
of a complete product in 2017. |

“We
are very pleased that the Government has presented its bill as indicated
in the Revised National Budget on May, 14th 2014. A parliament approval
means completion of the JSM and preparing the product for the market,
says Harald Ånnestad, President of Kongsberg Defence Systems. In future full-scale production the JSM-programme has potential of creating more than 450 jobs in KONGSBERG, and also provides significant assignments to over 100 Norwegian subcontractors for decades. JSM has a significant international market potential over the next 20-30 years, with great industrial spin-offs. Link to JSM Joint Strike Missile anti-ship missile technical datasheet |
