Press Release, Kongsberg, 23 September 2024: Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KONGSBERG) has signed an agreement with the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA) for upgrades to Norway’s Ula-class submarines to extend the operational life of the submarines. The contract is worth about NOK 436 million and the scope of work includes upgrades to software and hardware to the combat system on board the Ula-class submarines.
KONGSBERG supplied the combat system to the Ula-class and has previously conducted upgrade programs. The latest upgrades will contribute to keep the Ula-class operational until the new 212CD submarines are being introduced in the 2030s.
“KONGSBERG is pleased to be part of the update program ensuring the Ula-class’ operational capability until the next generation of submarines arrives”, says Eirik Lie, President of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
KONGSBERG is also supplying the combat system for the new 212CD submarines, which are being delivered to Norway and Germany in the future.
