Belgium orders NASAMS air defence system from KONGSBERG

KONGSBERG signed the contract with the Armed Forces procurement authority of the Netherlands, which is already a NASAMS customer. The Netherlands is procuring NASAMS on behalf of Belgium and the end user of the equipment is the Belgian Air Force.

“We are very pleased to welcome Belgium to the family of NASAMS nations,” said Eirik Lie, President and CEO of KONGSBERG. “With the acquisition of NASAMS, Belgium will gain solid national air defence coverage and at the same time contribute to increased European security.”

NASAMS' modularity and open architecture enable the continuous introduction of new technology, which ensures that the system can adapt to new threats and missions throughout its lifetime.
