For the first time, the US Air Force let Norway take control of American bombs during an exercise named Jotun Strike. Norwegian forces successfully guided GBU-53/B glide bombs with data from various sensors, showcasing a new era of networked weapon technology. Vice Adm. Rune Andersen emphasized the importance of this test in maintaining Norway's technological edge, and noted the high level of cooperation and trust in US-Norway relations. Capt. Brett Stell highlighted that this exercise demonstrates the future of warfare and military integration between allies.
The US recently allowed Norway to control American bombs in flight, testing technology for networked weapons that can be redirected towards targets after launch.
The test of networked weapons marked a significant achievement for Norway, providing a way for bombs to be guided post-launch using advanced sensor data.
Norwegian forces successfully took control of American bombs in a groundbreaking test, showcasing enhanced cooperation and trust between the US and Norway.
This exercise illustrates a future of warfighting where weapons launched from US platforms can be adjusted by allied sensors, demonstrating advanced military integration.
