Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has signed a contract with the government of Lithuania for the delivery of more NASAMS air defence systems. The EUR 200 million (about NOK 2.3 billion) contract will provide Lithuania with the latest technology and increased air defence capabilities. As part of the contract, Lithuania will also modernize parts of the NASAMS equipment the country acquired in 2017. With this modernization, Lithuania will have the most modern and efficient configuration of this advanced air defence system.

The system consists of Raytheon's Sentinel radar and three advanced missile variants, as well as KONGSBERG's Fire Distribution Center (FDC) and multi-missile launchers. NASAMS' modularity and open architecture enable the continuous introduction of new technology, which ensures that the system can be adapted to new threats and missions throughout its lifetime. NASAMS is one of the market's most flexible solutions that covers a wide range of air defense needs.

By acquiring more NASAMS, Lithuania consolidates its position in the user group, which now counts 13 nations.
