NASAM initially stood for Norwegian Advanced Surface to Air Missile System. Till Raytheon & Kongsberg Defense decided to market it world-wide and National replaced Norwegian.
Can't understand the need for #NASAM air-defense system
through a data-link (including Link 16). FDC is the main C4I and Battle Management node. Each full NASAM-II battalion has 12 launchers; at 6 missiles/Launcher, it has 72 ready-to-fire missiles. So, we're talking about 4 batteries of 3 launchers each.
----
Each Battery has
1 x Radar + 1 x EO Sensor + 3 x Launchers.
- Though, each FDC can manage up to 12 launchers. This requires additional radars and EO Units.
- Data-link allows launcher to be placed 25 km away
-------
Performance:
-Missile Range: 40 km
- Altitude: 14 km
-Radar: 75 km

Need to wait for more data as the story unfolds.
