Eirik Lie, President of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, said, “We are very proud to have been chosen by the Netherlands Ministry of Defence to supply the NSM to the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) Air Defence & Command Frigates. This is another fantastic accomplishment for the NSM program and we are delighted to welcome the RNLN as a member of the NSM User Group.”

The Spanish Navy also selected the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) recently to replace the Harpoon missile when this is retired from active service.

The Spanish Navy plans to equip both their existing F-100 and the new F-110 ships with the Naval Strike Missile (NSM). This would enhance the capabilities of the Spanish Navy’s fleet and allow them to better defend against potential threats. The NSM is a highly advanced missile system with a proven track record, and its integration into the Spanish Navy’s ships would represent a significant upgrade.
