The NSM (Naval Strike Missile) was primarily designed to be used as an anti-ship, but it can be also used as a land-attack missile. The missile was developed to meet the requirements of the Royal Norwegian Navy by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) to arm warships.
The production of the NSM began in June 2007 and the missile is now in service in Malaysia, Norway, Poland, and the United States, and will be entered into service with Canada and Germany.
The NSM missile will weigh slightly more than 400 kg (880 lb) and have a range of more than 185 km (100 nm). It has a 125 kg HE (High Explosive) warhead. The missile, using GPS-aided mid-course guidance with a dual-band imaging infrared (IIR) seeker, detects and discriminates the targets.
