Denmark Buys More Naval Strike Missiles for Its New Coastal Battery — Norway's FMA to Denmark's DALO
Kongsberg, 19 October 2026
Key points
- Kongsberg said on 19 October it will deliver more Naval Strike Missiles to Denmark for its coastal defence, an undisclosed number worth about NOK 400 million
- The sale runs government to government between the procurement agencies of Norway and Denmark, FMA and DALO
- Denmark bought the NSM Coastal Defence System — fire control, missiles and launchers — in a contract of more than EUR 100 million signed on 17 December 2025, making it the fifth NATO user after Poland, the United States, Romania and Latvia
- Separately, Denmark ordered NSM for its Iver Huitfeldt-class frigates in 2025 to replace Harpoon; neither 2025 contract nor this one gives a delivery date
Denmark is buying more missiles for the coastal battery it bought ten months ago, its third Naval Strike Missile contract in under two years.
The coastal system, bought in December 2025 for more than EUR 100 million, is land-based and mobile; Eirik Lie, president of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, said it would extend NSM coastal coverage "from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea". The frigate order of 2025, NOK 2.1 billion, replaced Harpoon at sea. Kongsberg's count of NATO coastal users is unchanged from December, so this is a magazine order for an existing customer.
None of the three contracts has a published delivery date. Kongsberg's releases, and the Signal No. 170 card that carried this one, give values but no schedule, and Denmark has not said when the coastal battery becomes operational.
