Presentation held by the Norwegian F-35 Program Office at Farnborough Air Show in July 2014 detailing the Norwegian requirement for the Joint Strike Missile and the characteristics of the missile.
2. Our Strategic Environment
Quick Facts - Norway
Land Territory: 320 000 km2
Sea Territory: 2 000 000km2
Population: 5 million
Defence Budget: $7.2B
3. Norwegian Challenges – Some Old, Some New
3
• Vast distances
• Significant Natural Resources in
Immediate Region
• Cannot Operate a Large Peace-
Time Organization
• «Come-As-You-Are» Conflicts
• Changing Threat Spectrum, New
Technologies
Norway Must be able to Rapidly Establish a Credible Threshold to lend
Credibility to any Allied Response to Military Pressure
6. New Combat Aircraft Key to “Raising the Bar”
6
• High Speed, Rapid Response
• Range
• Powerful Sensors and Weapons
• Can be Rapidly Mobilized in
Response to Changing Threats
• Survivability
Provides Norway the Liberty and Ability to Intervene in Critical Situations that
Threaten Norwegian Sovereignty and Security

To Establish a Credible Threshold Throughout the Target Spectrum,
Norway Requires the JSM
Norway operates only one combat aircraft – must ensure that one platform is
able to deliver credible capability across all target categories

The JSM Enables the F-35 to Effectively Engage the Complete Target Spectrum,
Including Heavily Defended Naval Targets
The F-35 with the JSM will provide a unique package of capabilities that
together offers unmatched lethality
Find, track and
identify targets at
extended ranges
Operate in a contested
battlespace
Long range, low
signature, highly
maneuverable
Superior lethality
against wide target
spectrum
Able to defeat advanced
defensive systems
Able to operate in all
environments, all
weather
Launch Platform Weapon

F-35, with a weapons suite including the
JSM, will ensure high potential cost for
anyone considering the use of force
against Norway

Balancing Capabilities
No Other Available of Planned Weapon Provides the Required Effect
The JSM design is optimized to provide maximum performance within the
constraints imposed by internal carriage on the F-35
1-to-1+ thrust-to-weight
ratio in final maneuvers,
improves survivability
Limits launch-
platform exposure,
expands field of
operations
Programmable,
sufficient to disable
or destroy
Passive Seeker
Low signature,
automatic target
recognition
