Press Release, Kongsberg, 27 November 2025: Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (‘KONGSBERG’) has signed a contract with the government of Denmark for the delivery of National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) air defence. The EUR 500 million contract will provide Denmark with the latest technology and the most modern and advanced air defence capability in the world.
“With this procurement Denmark will significantly enhance the country’s operational capabilities and the ability to effectively combat modern air threats, and furthermore strengthen the overall NASAMS air defence presence in the Nordic region,” said Eirik Lie, President of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
The NASAMS system consists of Raytheon’s radar and advanced missile variants, as well as KONGSBERG’s Fire Distribution Center (FDC) and multi-missile launchers. NASAMS can employ a mix of missiles in addition to the AMRAAM. The AMRAAM-Extended Range and AIM-9X Sidewinder provides both longer- and shorter-range capability.
“The Danish selection underscores NASAMS’ position as the world leading mobile medium range integrated air defence solution for NATO allies,” says Kjetil R. Myhra, Executive Vice President of Division Defence Systems in KONGSBERG.
NASAMS’ modularity and open architecture enable the continuous introduction of new technology, which ensures that the system can adapt to new threats and missions throughout its lifetime. NASAMS is the market’s most flexible solution covering a wide range of air defence missions and growth potential for long range air defence and anti-tactical ballistic missiles as part of the NASAMS architecture.
With this procurement Denmark becomes the 14th NASAMS user nation, and the 8th nation in NATO.
