Stig-Are Mogstad, executive vice president of Kongsberg Defence Systems, said:
"At KONGSBERG we are very happy to place yet another major order for the production of tactical communications equipment with Kitron. Some of the products to be supplied will be part of a project for the Norwegian Armed Forces to upgrade the NASAMS air defence system with a new IP-based communications solution. KONGSBERG's IP-based communications solutions have already established an international reputation, and this will boost NASAMS technologically and ensure flexibility and interoperability.
