| NSM (Naval Strike Missile) contract with Poland approved | |||
The
contract that KONGSBERG announced on 7 December 2010 with the Polish
Ministry of Defence for additional NSMs
(Naval Strike Missiles) has been approved. This contract is
an extension to the basic contract, which was signed on 30 December
2008. Compared with the press release published in December 2010, the
scope and value of the contract has increased and the order for MNOK
712 will be booked in Q4 2011. KONGSBERG has been contracted to supply an NSM-based Coastal Defence System to the Polish Navy. The Coastal Defence System is on track to commence in 2012, deliveries will encompass NSMs for use in conjunction with a command and weapon control system similar to KONGSBERG's renowned NASAMS air defence system. Earlier in 2011 NSM launched from the Polish Coastal Defence System again demonstrated its capabilities as the most advanced strike missile against land and sea targets. |
