Norsk missilteknologi skal møte russisk forsprang (23. April 2020)
https://aviationweek.com/aerospace-defe ... 1-comebackIn Europe, Norway appears to be taking an early lead in high-speed/-hypersonic missile development, building off joint work with the U.S. on the Tactical High-Speed Offensive Ramjet for Extended Range (THOR-ER) Allied Prototyping Initiative demonstration program.
Following the formalization of cooperation with the U.S. Defense Department in November, the THOR-ER team, which includes the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment, state-owned armaments company Nammo and the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center, is looking to undertake the firing of a ramjet-powered missile from a firing range at Andoya during 2021.
Nammo also is progressing with its proposed ramjet-powered artillery shell, which it unveiled in conjunction with Boeing in 2019. Nammo plans to have the round on the market for 2023-24, ready for use in Norway’s new K9 Vidar self-propelled artillery.
