The contract, with a value in high double-digit million euros, enables integration between the Skyranger 30 and the national advanced surface-to-air missile system (NASAMS) and national manoeuvre air defence system (NOMADS) air defence systems.

These defence systems were ordered by the Netherlands from Kongsberg in November 2024 in a Nkr12bn ($1.2bn) deal. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2028.

Kongsberg will integrate the Skyranger 30 into its simulation and training solution supplied to the Netherlands under the terms of the November 2024 agreement.

Kongsberg division defence systems executive vice-president Kjetil R. Myhra stated: “Having Skyranger 30 in the same network as NASAMS and NOMADS, with its combat-efficient command and control architecture, enables the Netherlands to deploy the most flexible solution in the market covering a wide range of air defence missions, to include countering small and medium-sized drones.”
