Newsweek:
The Navy has expressed interest in fitting its latest warship with a new weapon capable that would make it a formidable foe for top U.S. rivals.
The Naval Strike Missile, manufactured by Norway’s Kongsberg Defence Systems in partnership with top U.S. defense contractor Raytheon, is one of the leading candidates for the new weapons system on the Navy’s littoral combat ship (LCS), a small surface vessel that operates in coastal waters to fight mines or quiet diesel submarines.
Raytheon CEO Thomas Kennedy said last week that the futuristic missile had a good chance of securing the Navy’s pick at a time when Russia and China were bolstering their own maritime might.
