LONDON. Kongsberg Defence Systems and Raytheon officials are on the final planning stages to assemble, integrate, and test the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) in the United States.

Officials say the two companies also plan to produce NSM launchers in the U.S. The NSM final assembly, integration, and testing will be at Raytheon’s facility in Tucson, Arizona, while the launchers would be manufactured at Raytheon's factory in Louisville, Kentucky.

The companies are also developing the Joint Strike Missile and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems.
