Further, with data-fusing supercomputers like the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, America has also already demonstrated the capability of engaging targets with surface-based weapons via targeting data relayed by nearby aircraft. Increased volume of NSM creates and secures jobs in both the U.S. The Joint Strike Missile (JSM) successfully completed a missile flight test in the United States in November 2015. America has long possessed containerized missile platforms that would sit comfortably on the deck of large cargo ships. “Production of NSM in the United States will secure ramp up and sustainability of NSM, the world’s only fifth-generation Naval Strike Missile with land target capabilities, for the U.S. “Warfighters around the globe will benefit from the Kongsberg-Raytheon partnership on NSM,” said Harald Ånnestad, president of Kongsberg Defense Systems. The missile weighs approximately 900 pounds, including a 276-pound warhead.

Automatic Target recognition is supported by an advanced Imaging infrared seeker. Navy successfully test-fired an NSM from the littoral combat ship USS Coronado (LCS 4) in September 2014. The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) is a long-range, precision strike weapon that seeks and destroys enemy ships and land targets at distances greater than 100. JSM employs a highly accurate navigation system and low altitude flight profile. The sea-skimming missile employs rocket launch and a turbojet sustainer motor propelling it to ranges over 100 miles at high subsonic speed, and features heavy use of composites and stealth shaping, terrain-following flight, high maneuverability and random maneuvering in terminal mode, as well as an advanced Imaging Infrared Seeker with Autonomous Target Recognition. Kongsberg touts the NSM as the only fifth-generation naval anti-ship missile on the market today. The company would manufacture the launchers in its Louisville, Kentucky facility.Ī Naval Strike Missile (NSM) is launched from the littoral combat ship USS Coronado (LCS 4) during a test off the coast of Southern California. The JSM is based on the well-proven and modern technology of NSM (Naval Strike Missile) which is operational in the Royal Norwegian Navy (RNoN) and Poland. Raytheon plans to perform final assembly, integration, and testing of NSM at the company’s facility in Tucson, Arizona. “We will assemble the missile and launchers in the same Raytheon factories where we produce many of the world’s most advanced missiles and other weapons systems.” Lawrence, Raytheon Missile Systems president.

“NSM production in America is the latest evolution of our decades-long relationship with Kongsberg,” said Dr. Navy successfully test-fired an NSM from the littoral combat ship USS Coronado (LCS 4) in September 2014. Navy plans to upgrade, up-gun, and re-designate fast frigates before down-selecting to a single platform in the future. The two companies are pitching the NSM as an over-the-horizon anti-ship missile for the littoral combat ship, both variants of which the U.S. The JSM is Norways advanced anti-surface warfare missile designed to be carried in the new F-35As internal weapons bay.



In addition to saving millions of dollars in program cost by avoiding schedule slips, the JSM is ready for integration on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.Raytheon Company and Kongsberg Defense Systems are teaming to assemble, integrate, and test the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) and build NSM launchers in the United States, according to a Raytheon press release. The program, which was two years behind schedule prior to Lone Star’s engagement, is now on track to meet all critical milestones. Lone Star ® contracted with US agencies for execution of the work, operating as an Integrated Product Team. The team constructed an integrated master plan and detailed schedule to meet the required deadline for JSM Qualification and Tech Demo. Lone Star ® assembled a world class team with extensive weapon development, integration, and testing experience. These steps are critical precursors to integration of the missile on the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35), which is of national importance to the defense of Norway. The Norwegian Ministry of Defense supported by OSD was having difficulty making progress in qualification and integration of the Joint Strike Missile (JSM). Lone Star Analysis assisted the Norwegian Ministry of Defense as it completed a critical phase of testing for the Joint Strike Missile, through the analytics company’s Program and System Advisory Solution. Japan Buying Joint Strike Missiles For Its F-35As Is A Much Bigger Deal Than It Sounds It’s the first land attack capable cruise missile Japan has bought, opening the door to a whole new set of.
