Kongsberg is positioning its 3SM Tyrfing for Europe’s long-range strike agenda while it keeps upgrading the Naval Strike Missile and Rusty Dagger. The company frames 3SM as a separate, supersonic complement to NSM, built around solid-fuel ramjet propulsion and sized for ship launch from Mk41 cells, with a land-mobile option still under study.
The pitch aligns with ELSA’s search for deeper strike options, but Norway is not formally inside the framework and no integration decision is set. Kongsberg’s message is straightforward: NSM remains the baseline, 3SM is the reach extension. That leaves Europe’s next deep-strike procurement race open.
