Work will focus on improving the IFF capability on the Sentinel 3D radar.
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace on 12 February announced it has received a contract worth about NOK266 million ($31.6 million) from the Norwegian Materiel Defence Agency, to upgrade the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS).
The upgrade focuses on the Raytheon MPQ-64F1 Sentinel 3D radar on NASAMS, to ensure it aligns with future NATO IFF standards
NASAMS is based on a distributed network architecture. The latest NASAMS III configuration includes enhanced software for the fire control system and Sentinel radar, as well as new C2 systems.
