Trusted in Defence. Delivering in Space

Space-enabled capabilities for Defence users

Modern defence operations depend on assured access to space. KONGSBERG develops and delivers space capabilities shaped by defence‑grade requirements for security, responsiveness, and operational continuity.


Drawing on long‑standing experience across space, maritime, and defence domains, we enable space systems to function as a trusted and integrated element of defence operations in complex and contested environments.

National Capabilities by Design

National sovereignty depends on access to trusted capabilities, critical infrastructure, and reliable information. KONGSBERG works with national partners to develop and operate space capabilities that strengthen security, resilience, and operational independence. Through collaboration across industry, government, and academia, we help nations build sovereign space capacity, maintain control of critical data and services, and ensure access to capabilities that support security, surveillance, communications, and decision-making when it matters most.

The complete space value chain

KONGSBERG delivers integrated space capabilities, from satellite systems and ground infrastructure to intelligence, mission operations, and defence-ready services.

Satellites and payloads

Power‑efficient, reliable small satellite platforms, proven in 50+ launched missions with 300+ satellites in production backlog. Modular designs support rapid deployment and scaling for both commercial and mission‑critical use.

Responsive access to space

Secure, responsive access to space through Andøya Spaceport, offering high‑latitude trajectories to polar and sun‑synchronous orbits. Low traffic density and clear corridors support predictable launch campaigns and rapid replenishment.

Ground infrastructure

A unified ground segment combining KSAT’s global ground‑station services with KONGSBERG’s in‑house capability to deliver sovereign ground systems, providing resilient TT&C, data acquisition, and processing from antenna to mission‑ready data.

Data intelligence

Rapid conversion of satellite data into decision‑ready outputs. High-rate downlink, automated processing, cloud distribution, and fusion tools combine EO, RF, maritime, environmental, and situational sources, reducing latency from collection to insight.

System overview and integration

Combining space and defense technologies into mission-ready solutions that deliver reliable information, communications and operational effects across domains.
