When it matters most – secure connections on the frontline At Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, we’ve spent decades perfecting tactical communications systems that meet the demands of modern defence. Our solutions not only keep pace with evolving challenges but set new standards for resilience and security. One of the biggest challenges in modern warfare is the threat of Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations and cyber-attacks, where enemy forces attempt to jam or disrupt communication channels. In these contested and congested spectrum conditions, standard communications solutions often fall short. KONGSBERG’s systems are different. "Our communications solutions are designed to adapt in real time, ensuring reliability in conditions where others might fail," says Lars Erik Tveita, Senior System Engineer at Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace. "Whether it’s jamming or cyber interference, our technology is built to overcome it." 🔗 Click here to read the full article: https://brnw.ch/21wP0HI 📷: Forsvaret - Norwegian Armed Forces #DefenceCommunications #Technology #Innovation

Enhancing NASAMS air defence capacity In collaboration with Forsvarsmateriell - Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA), we have have signed an agreement to double the spare parts package for the new NASAMS air defence system. This agreement ensures that the latest NASAMS systems can be operated safely, efficiently, and with expanded capacity. “NASAMS is of strategic importance to Norway. The air defence system provides a strong deterrent. Increasing the stock of components enhances operational endurance and strengthens readiness. This is a crucial step to ensure the long-term effectiveness of our air defence capabilities,” says Brigadier General Jarle Nergård, Head of NDMA Air Systems Division. Throughout 2024, we have finalised contracts with NDMA for two batteries of the latest-generation NASAMS, pre-ordered long-lead components, and secured new missile acquisitions through the US government. Additionally, an option agreement was signed this summer, valid until January 2025, for the potential procurement of two additional NASAMS batteries. 🔗 Click here to read the full article (in Norwegian): https://brnw.ch/21wOPMm 📷: Forsvaret - Norwegian Armed Forces #NASAMS #AirDefence #ProtectingPeopleandPlanet

"Unthinkable to defend Ukraine without it" Air defence is absolutely vital to counter the ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine. “Some attacks have been so intense that we’ve run out of ammunition and had to reload while missiles were flying overhead,” says NASAMS operator Andrey, speaking to Forsvarets forum. While Andrey cannot share specific details about their operations, he highlights mobility as one of the system’s greatest strengths. Mobility not only ensures the system can be used to its full potential but also reduces the risk of equipment being destroyed – or the operators themselves coming under harm. Andrey and his team have one primary mission: to protect critical infrastructure for Ukraine’s armed forces. “NASAMS has proven to be an outstanding air defence system. Its greatest advantage is its mobility, which significantly increases the equipment’s survivability. It also provides full 360-degree coverage, giving me excellent situational awareness and oversight,” Andrey explains. 🔗Click here to read the full article (in Norwegian): https://brnw.ch/21wONNt 📷 : Forsvarets forum #NASAMS #AirDefence #ProtectingPeopleandPlanet
