The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) is an anti-ship and land-attack missile developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA). The original Norwegian name was Nytt sjømålsmissil (literally ''New sea target missile'', indicating that it is the successor of the Penguin missile); the English marketing name Naval Strike Missile was adopted later. ==Development== The Naval Strike Missile's initial serial production contract was signed in June 2007.〔(Contract for serial production of the new Naval Strike Missile ) – KDA press release, 29 June 2007〕 It has been chosen by the Royal Norwegian Navy for its new ''Fridtjof Nansen'' class frigates and ''Skjold'' class patrol boats. In December 2008 the NSM was selected by the Polish Navy, which ordered total 50 land-based missiles (including 2 for testing) under deals from 2008 and 2011, with delivery planned for 2013-2016.〔(''Altair.pl'' article ), 28 December 2011 - 〕〔(''Gazeta Wyborcza'' article ), 23 December 2008 - 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Defense & Security Intelligence & Analysis: IHS Jane's - IHS )〕 The final milestone was completed in June 2011 with tests at Point Mugu.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kongsberg’s NSM Naval Strike Missile Completes Final Milestone )〕 On 12 April 2011, the Norwegian Ministry of Defense announced phase 2 of development.〔("Development stage two, Joint Strike Missile." ) ''Regjeringen.no,'' 4 December 2011. Retrieved: 3 April 2012.〕 On Wednesday, October 10, 2012, the Royal Norwegian Navy marked history by firing an NSM anti-ship missile for the first time. The vessel in question was the HNoMS Glimt, Skjold class patrol boat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Naval Open Source INTelligence )〕 On Wednesday, June 5, 2013, the Royal Norwegian Navy for the first time test fired an NSM missile carrying a live warhead against a target vessel.

In December 2014 Poland ordered a second batch of launchers and missiles to equip a Naval Strike Missile battalion〔http://www.janes.com/article/47284/poland-orders-its-second-nsm-battalion〕 In late July 2014, the U.S. Navy confirmed that the NSM would be tested aboard the USS Coronado (LCS-4) Littoral Combat Ship. Although there is no requirement for a missile of the type for the ship classes, the Navy sought to evaluate its capabilities to see if it can expand the LCS' anti-surface warfare role.〔(LCS to conduct test of Norwegian missile ) - Militarytimes.com, 24 July 2014〕 The test occurred successfully on 24 September 2014, although that does not mean it will be integrated onto the LCS.〔(Norwegian Missile Test On Littoral Combat Ship Successful ) - News.USNI.org, 24 September 2014〕 Kongsberg and Raytheon have teamed to pitch the NSM to equip the LCS as its over-the-horizon anti-ship missile.〔(Raytheon and Kongsberg Team to Pitch Stealthy Norwegian Strike Missile for LCS ) - News.USNI.org, 9 April 2015〕 During RIMPAC 2014 the frigate Fridtjof Nansen made a successful firing of the NSM during a SINKEX, with the missile impacting and detonating as designed. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Missiles Sink Two Retired Navy Ships )〕 In the LIMA exhibition 2015, Malaysia announced that the Naval Strike Missile had won the contract to fulfil the Royal Malaysian Navy's Second Generation Patrol Vessel's anti-ship missile requirement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naval Strike Missile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
