Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KONGSBERG) has signed a contract worth about NOK
6.5 billion for the delivery of the Joint Strike Missile to Germany.

On 5 June 2025, KONGSBERG announced that Germany had selected the JSM for its
F-35 fighter jets, while contract negotiations were ongoing. The contract
between the parties has now been signed.

“We are pleased to welcome Germany as the fifth country to select the JSM. The
acquisition confirms the missile’s position as the natural partner to the F-35
and further strengthens the already strong bonds between KONGSBERG and German
industry on a range of projects, including missiles, submarines and weapon
stations,” said Øyvind Kolset, Executive Vice President, missiles and space, at
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.

The acquisition is structured as a government-to-government sale between Norway
and Germany, with Norway’s Defence Material Agency (NDMA) acting as contract
partner. Germany is the fifth country to select the JSM alongside existing
customers Norway, Japan, Australia and the US.
