19.12.2025 07:30:11 CET | KONGSBERG | Press release
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS (‘KONGSBERG’) has entered a fifth follow-on contract with Japan to deliver the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) for its fleet of F-35A fighter aircraft. The contract is valued at more than NOK 800 million.

The JSM is a 5th generation stealth air-to surface missile, which can be carried internally in the F-35A thus ensuring the aircraft’s low-signature capabilities.
“KONGSBERG is proud to have received another order from Japan’s Ministry of Defense to provide the JSM to the Japan Air Self- Defense Force. This is another great milestone for the JSM programme and our relationship with Japan is growing even stronger with this fifth follow-on contract”, said Øyvind Kolset, Executive Vice President Missiles & Space in Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
The JSM has been selected by Japan, Norway, Australia, Germany and the United States.
