Press Release, Kongsberg, 17 December 2025: Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (‘KONGSBERG’) has signed a contract for the delivery of ORCCA combat system elements to four 212CD submarines for the German Navy and two for Norway. The contract has a total value of NOK 3.5 billion.
Earlier in December 2025, the Norwegian government announced plans to acquire two more 212CD submarines, in addition to the four that have already been ordered. The proposal is awaiting formal approval by the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget).
“Following these orders, Norway and Germany will together operate a fleet of twelve modern submarines equipped with the industry’s most advanced combat system. Submarines are an important strategic capability, helping to deter potential adversaries and strengthen the defence of national interests,” said Eirik Lie, President of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
KONGSBERG signed the contract with KTA Naval Systems, which was established to develop combat systems for non-nuclear submarines, and to develop, produce and maintain combat systems for submarines from TKMS. KTA Naval Systems is a joint venture between TKMS, its Naval Electronic Systems business unit (ATLAS ELEKTRONIK) and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
