Kongsberg received further work under the general CROWS contract. The Crew Remotely Operated Weapon System provides a way for soldiers to work sensors and weapons while staying under armor. Kongsberg makes parts of the overall system and this is a continuation of earlier contracts. The overall CROWS contract is worth over $1 B, and this contract has a value of over $200 M.

JSF spreads the wealth

Lockheed Martin awarded a Norwegian company, Kongsberg, a contract to make parts for the F-35 JSF. See an article here. In an unrelated matter Norway is looking at buying either JSF or Swedish Gripen aircraft to replace their F-16 fleet. Kongsberg will get the contract worth up to $1 B or more even if Norway does not buy the JSF.
