Norwegian manufacturer Kongsberg has reported a first quarter order intake of 27 billion NOK ($2.9 billion), increasing sales over the same period last year by more than 100 percent, all the while the company is setting its sights on US growth.
The order uplift was largely a result of securing deals for counter-drone technologies and weapon systems, including a 16 billion NOK contract struck with Poland for the supply of 18 counter-drone batteries, in support of Warsaw’s anti-drone program.
In a statement announcing the new financial results, Kongsberg said that it is "seeing increased interest in counter-drone solutions as a result of ongoing conflicts, such as in Ukraine and the Middle East."
Across this past quarter, other key contracts included the firm’s joint selection along with Salt Ship Design to deliver a design concept for standardized vessels to the Royal Norwegian Navy.
Germany and Sweden placed a €140 million order with Patria, for remote weapon stations as part of Common Armored Vehicle System (CAVS) 6×6 programs. Patria is jointly owned by the Finnish state and Kongsberg.

挪威製造商康士伯報告第一季訂單額達270億克朗(約29億美元),與去年同期相比銷售額增長超過100%,與此同時,該公司正將目光投向美國市場的增長。
訂單量的大幅提升,主要源於成功簽署反無人機技術與武器系統的合約,其中包括今年與波蘭達成的一項價值160億克朗的合約,將為華沙的反無人機計畫提供 18套反無人機砲組。
康士伯在公布財報的聲明中表示,受烏克蘭和中東等持續衝突影響,全球對「反無人機解決方案」的興趣日益增加。
過去一季中,其他關鍵合約還包括該公司與Salt Ship Design共同入選,為挪威皇家海軍提供標準化艦艇的設計概念。
德國與瑞典向Patria公司下達了價值1.4億歐元的遙控武器站訂單,作為「通用裝甲車輛系統」6×6計畫的一部分;Patria 由芬蘭政府與康士伯共同持有。
