KONGSBERG (BNS): Norwegian defence firm Kongsberg has received a contract to deliver an upgraded NASAMS air defence system to the Royal Norwegian Air Force.

The NASAMS (Norwegian Advanced Surface to Air Missile System) is produced by Kongsberg and Raytheon, and the upgrade will be delivered within a 2-year timeframe, the company said.

The upgrade consists of deliveries of new High Mobility Launchers for increased mobility, upgrade of the existing FDC Command & Control centres and associated training facilities, it said.
