Denmark’s Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) will enter into a government-to-government contract with Norway for the acquisition. The contract is valued between DKK 900 million and DKK 1.5 billion, with the exact amount kept confidential for security reasons.
A market survey conducted by Danish defence authorities determined that the NSM was the best option available. It was selected due to its superior operational capabilities, cost-effectiveness, rapid delivery time, and compatibility with NATO allies.
With this acquisition, Denmark becomes the 14th nation to adopt the NSM, joining countries such as Norway, the United States, Germany, Canada, the UK, and several others. The missile has become the preferred anti-ship weapon among NATO navies due to its advanced technology and battlefield-proven performance.
The NSM is a long-range precision strike weapon capable of targeting enemy ships at distances of over 100 nautical miles. It features advanced navigation systems, infrared target recognition, and high maneuverability, allowing it to evade enemy air defences.
