07 Nov 2022 07:23 CET

(2022-11-07) Kitron has entered into a long-term production agreement with an
expected value of NOK 750 million with Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace AS for
electronic modules that are part of KONGSBERG's remote weapon station system
(RWS).

"This is a significant agreement for Kitron. It both extends and expands our
strong collaboration with KONGSBERG," says Peter Nilsson, CEO of Kitron.

On Monday, 31 October, KONGSBERG announced a new 5-year framework agreement with
the U.S. Army for its version of the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station
(CROWS).

For Kitron's production facilities in the USA and Norway, the CROWS program is
expected to generate annual revenues of NOK 150 million over the next five
years. The volume will depend on demand and the annual budget process in the US
and may therefore be either lower or higher.

In total, KONGSBERG has delivered more than 18,000 weapon station systems across
all defence branches to the US military. The system is intended to provide
protection and a better decision-making basis for soldiers or operators.
