Norwegian defence company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has signed an agreement with Lockheed Martin valued at approximately NOK 2 billion to supply components for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter programme. The contract extends Kongsberg’s participation in the programme and covers deliveries supporting aircraft production through 2030.

 

The agreement includes deliveries for production lots 20 to 22 of the F-35, covering all three variants of the aircraft. Components to be manufactured include rudders, vertical leading edges and main landing gear closeout panels.

The parts will be produced at Kongsberg’s advanced manufacturing facilities in Norway. The deliveries form part of the broader global supply chain supporting the production of the F-35 fighter aircraft.

The contract also reinforces Kongsberg’s role as a long-term industrial partner to Lockheed Martin within the F-35 programme. According to the company, the agreement confirms its continued participation in the international supply network supporting the aircraft.

The deal further strengthens Kongsberg’s position within the global F-35 programme and extends its ongoing production of key aircraft components. The agreement also highlights the long-standing industrial cooperation between the Norwegian defence company and Lockheed Martin.
