NSM is the latest generation Surface
Warfare Missile System from KONGSBERG
and is operational today in the
Norwegian Navy and in the Polish Navy.
NSM provides superior operational
performance and high survivability
against all hostile soft and hard kill
defence systems.

success
NSM provides the following key opera-
tional features:
• Operational range in excess of 200 km
• Strike capability against sea and land
targets
• Excellent penetration capability
against enemy air defence systems
• Ship class identification (ATR)

NSM Background
The Royal Norwegian Navy (RNoN)
needed missiles for their new ships.
RNoN Operational Requirements :
• ”Ensure that our naval units have
anti ship capability, which will en-
able them to meet the challenges
of a future ship to ship combat
environment”
• ”The main operational requirements
call for a next generation missile
with high probability of penetrating
enemy air defence and be effective
both in confined and open waters.”
• “The missile must be easily adapt-
able to various platforms.”

Stealth and atr
for the future
High probability of mission success:
• Superior range
• Advanced Imaging Infrared Seeker
with Autonomous Target
Recognition (ATR) to ship class
• Very low observable
• Super Sea Skim
• Terrain following overland flight
• Resistant to soft and hard kill
defence systems
• Target hit point selectability
• Programmable fuze
• Optimized warhead effect
• Adjustable seeker logic to conform
to varied ROE

NSM Status
• NSM is the main weapon for
Norway’s new frigates and corvettes
• In production for the Norwegian
Navy and the Polish Navy
• IOC in RNoN 2012
NSM Performance
The NSM has successfully demonstrated
its performance.
The challenging test program included
• Missile approach from over land
against target close to shoreline
• Attack from the sea with target close
to shoreline
• Precision land attack

NSM Technology For use
• over land
Airframe
• in confined waters
• LO airframe made in composite
• in the littorals
Navigation • on the open sea
• Highly accurate INS provides precise
navigation in satellite-denied
environment
Terminal Guidance
• High resolution imaging infrared
seeker provides ATR and precise
hitpoint for each shipclass. Thrust
to weight ratio above 1, the high-g
shipclass programmable endgame
maneuvers provide unsurpassed
defence penetration capabilities

Survivability
The NSM is designed for long range to
ensure range advantages against poten-
tial hostile naval combatants.
The NSM has high survivability against
modern and future Air Defence systems.
This is accomplished by the following:
• passive sensors
• very low signature
• extremely low sea skimming altitude
• terrain following flight
• high agility with selectable end-
game flight profiles
• very precise designated time-on-
target
8
An advanced mission planning system
utilizes all these capabilities to gener-
ate optimum engagement plans. Salvo
capability, i.e. multiple missiles towards
one target, is also available for highly
defended, high value targets.
Lethality
The NSM warhead effect is given by
three main elements; warhead size, war-
head fuze and target hitpoint.
The NSM has selectable aim point in the
target and has proven to hit the target
very precisely. This capability enables
selection of controlled destruction
effect, ranging from maximum damage
to controlled/minimum damage.
Terminal accuracy has been demonstrat-
ed to less than 2 feet (distance between
aim point and actual hit point).
The NSM has a 500lbs class warhead
with a gross weight of 120 kg and
explosive weight of 100 kg (TNT equiva-
lent). The warhead is a combined blast
(primary effect) and fragmentation (sec-
ondary effect) warhead with insensitive
High Explosive (HE) charge.
 NSM

The warhead casing is made of titanium

alloy with a steel-grid for fragmenta-
tion effect. The picture below shows the
warhead effect from a test firing against
an ex-Norwegian frigate.

The fuze is programmable with custom-

designed fuze programs down-loaded
prior to launch.

The warhead is insensitive munition

certified.
