BAE Systems' Growing Partnership in Norway
August 4, 2025 | BAE SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
As two of Europe’s leading defence companies, BAE Systems and Kongsberg are already working together in a number of areas to support militaries across NATO and its wider group of allies.
In May of this year, the two organisations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) looking to explore how to deepen that relationship even further. This MoU has particular focus around Maritime domain areas that could include the Vanguard vessel system, a strategic partnership for through-life support for Norway’s new frigates should the UK Type 26 offer be chosen, strike missiles, maritime surveillance and targeting and ship system deliveries to both nations’ frigates.
In addition to these areas, we now add aspects in the Air domain in exciting areas of new combat air and associated technologies. We are pleased to announce that this further MoU, sitting underneath the overall agreement from May, has been signed in July 2025 between the two companies to identify opportunities, synergies, new market and customer opportunities based on common experience and areas of interest.
The key areas of interest involved in this agreement are: training, uncrewed air systems, materials, mission support and research and technology across a number of areas. Norway and the UK, including BAE Systems and Kongsberg, have a long history of working together on defence and industrial collaboration. The two countries and two companies plan to continue and develop this partnership still further in the future. These agreements will play an important role in underpinning this way ahead to deliver protection and prosperity for both Norway and the UK.
