Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS (Kongsberg) has signed an agreement with Marvin Engineering (MEC) worth 240 MNOK to supply air-to-air pylons for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program. The agreement covers the next three production lots (15-17) for all variants of the aircraft.

"KONGSBERG has been a key supplier to the F-35 program for many years, and have supplied more than 2000 air-to-air pylons to date. This latest order confirms our capabilities as a key supplier to the F-35 program and adds another three years to the production duration," says Terje Brathen, Executive Vice President Aerostructures.
