Stealth Cruise Missile


  • The Norwegian firm, Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace has developed the Naval Strike Missile.
  • It weighs 900 lbs and is equipped with GPS and inertial and terrain reference systems to help it fly over all terrains.
  • It can't be seen on radar because it is capable of flying in sea-skim mode, where it flies just over the ocean's surface.
  • The missile can also perform high-G-force maneuvers at the last second to prevent getting shot down.
  • It locates targets using an imaging infared seeker and an on-board target database to make sure that it can hit targets from about 115 miles away.
  • The U.S. plans to use them for F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter.
  • The Royal Norwegian Navy plans to put them on their Fridtjof Nansen class warships.
  • The Polish are also eager customers.
