KONGSBERG has been prime contractor in cruise missile design, development and manufacturing for over 40 years. The Penguin Anti-Ship Missile developed in the sixties is still one of the preferred anti-ship weapons carried by helicopters.

The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) and the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) represent the latest generation of Precision Strike Missiles from KONGSBERG; the JSM is still under development.

The NSM is today marketed for naval ships and coast defence systems; on the latter the missile is launched from trucks. The JSM is designed to be carried both externally and internally in the weapons bay of the F-35 Lightning II.

Both missiles have a passive imaging IR seeker, and combined with high maneuver-ability and low signature they are able to penetrate highly defended targets both at land and sea. High maneuverability is achieved by high aerodynamic efficiency and an all composite airframe.

KONGSBERG, as prime contractor, is involved from Conops (Concept of Operation) developed together with our customer through to design and development of the missile. A number of the sub-systems in the missile is designed and developed by KONGSBERG, hence this gives KONGSBERG a good understanding of trade-offs required in aerospace design and development work.

SURFACES FOR THE JOINT STRIKE MISSILE (JSM) PROGRAM

Air Defence at KONGSBERG has for almost 20 years had astrategic cooperation agreement with Raytheon for marketingand sale internationally of a common HAWK and AMRAAM AirDefence system. The HAWK-AMRAAM systems containelements from both partners and KONGSBERG is responsible forthe Command, Control and Launchers.

NASAMS is operational with command and control of a rangeof guns and short and medium range missiles. A total of eightnations have acquired the KONGSBERG command and controlsolution adapted to their requirements. Currently, NASAMS is inuse in 6 different nations.

KONGSBERG is a provider of missile launchers; offering design, manufacturing, assembly and testing of such products.

KONGSBERG, in partnership with Raytheon, is offering oneof the most modern and flexible medium-range air defencesystems in the world: NASAMS - Surface Launched AMRAAMSystem.

KONGSBERG'S new, modern facility ARSENALET opened in 2008 and provides a total of 30,000 square meters produc-tion area. Composite activities are operating two-thirds of the total area and mechanical operations one-third. 4,500 square meters is allocated to an administrative building. ARSENALET is constructed to support a high production rate. Facility design and shop floor lay-up can easily be expanded with little interruption to ongoing production. The facility and equipment are in excellent condition due to low age and an optimal maintenance program.

Maintenance is fully outsourced to Kongsberg Terotech AS, which is a 50/50 joint ownership between Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace (KDA) and Volvo Aero Norge AS. A frame agreement with Kongsberg Terotech AS ensures dedicated and efficient maintenance and repair services of AEROSTRUCTURES total equipment park.

Typically a plastic film is placed over the composite component, edges sealed, and air is extracted to prevent entrapping volatiles/air before the mold is placed in the autoclave.

B AG G I N G3

In order to environmentally seal the composite part/assembly, various types of paints are sprayed onto the part. This can be done manually or using a robot. KONGSBERG uses a CNC Robot ABB with a painting area of 2100 x 4400 mm. To enhance bonding properties primers are also sprayed onto the details.

P R I M E A N D PA I N T9

AUTOCLAVE / DEMOULD 4Parts can be integrated into assemblies. Ingoing details can be composite laminates, various metallic details (steel, aluminium, titanium) or metallic/non-metallic honeycomb core materials. In most cases the assembly operation is done using various types of adhesives. The preparations prior to adhesive application is of paramount importance and consists typically of chemical cleaning and light sanding/abrasion to remove any traces of dust, grease or any other contamination which may affect the bonding quality. The bonded assemblies are usually cured in ovens at elevated tempera-tures to reduce cure cycle times.

B O N D I N G 5

Usually before a part is delivered to the customer it goes into mechanical assembly. After surface treatment/painting, all mechanical details are drilled/countersunk/deburred before they are bolted/bonded in its correct locations to the requirements. A part is completed after surface treatment. Metals are then mounted such as fasteners.

M E C H A N I C A L A S S E M B LY10

At final inspection the part’s build-history is verified. An inspector checks that all operations have been signed off, and all applicable document records have been collected and are in line with both customer and internal requirements.

F I N A L I N S P E C T I O N11

The autoclave cures the composite material at a pressure typically up to 7 bars and 180°C. Autoclaving is used to ensure high quality and level of repeatability of the production. In Demould, the composite component is taken off the mold and prepared for next operation.

The following step-by-step process describes manufacture of a simple composite structure demonstrating KONGSBERG’S manufacturing process at large. There are countless varieties of manufacturing some of which require three autoclave cures. Manufacturing Capabilities and Capacities are found in detail in our separate Manufacturing Capabilities List

Rolls of prepreg (resin impreg-nated CFPR ) is stored in our automated freezer hadling- system at appr. -20°C to delay curing and

ensure up to two years shelf-life. The prepreg is cut into different sized pieces based on design requirements. A cutting machine with a vibrating knife enhances cutting quality and ca-pability. Pre-cut kits are stored for large production series.

M AT E R I A L H A N D L I N G, C U T T I N G A N D K I T T I N G 1

The prepreg is placed in moulds, layer by layer, to build structure

and strength. The direction in every layer is predefined, influencing strength and stiffness. Laser projectors project the end-of-plies to facilitate its location and sequence in complex structures. Clean Room of 2800 m² offers high capacity for large simultaneous production mixes.

L A M I N AT I N G/L AY - U PI N C L E A N R O O M2

Subsequent to the milling of the part, it travels down into an automated co-ordinate measuring machine. The part’s dimensions are verified to the requirements. All this happens with the part still attached to its tool, vacuum or mechanically clamped.

CO - O R D I N AT E M E A S U R -I N G M AC H I N E ( C M M ) 7

Once a part has been bought-off in the CMM area, it is inspected using ultrason-ics to check the integrity of the material; free from pores,

other defects or foreign objects. Ultrasonic scanning of highly complex curved surfaces is performed using a Midas 5+5 multi-axis scanner. Further, we are capable of conducting X-ray inspection of thin composite panels up to 250 mm steel or titanium.

I N - H O U S E U LT R A S O U N DA N D X - R AY I N S P E C T I O N 8

Part surfaces are machined, the outer edges trimmed, and the holes drilled. Our Zimmermann PMM provides the high precision milling necessary for large volumes of complex structures. Offering high volumetric accuracy better than 55 microns and large dimensions on parts in an integrated automated manufacturing cell.

ERP-LN and ENOVIA (PDM)KONGSBERG uses the Enterprise Resource Planning system ERP-LN, and the Product Data Management system (PDM) ENOVIA as our backbone manufacturing system. Our integrated ERP-LN system includes quoting, planning, scheduling, inventory management, and material management.

MANUFAC TURING EXECUTION SYSTEM SAP-ME AND SPCProcesses are developed and implemented in SAP-ME (MES). All process descriptions are in English, digital and with hyperlinks to ENOVIA, to ensure configuration control. With SAP-ME, we are able use the Statistical Process Control (SPC) feature for monitoring processes during operation. Process capability data can be collected on processes affecting KCs.

UNIT TRACKINGAll production reports and COCs are filed as electronic buy-off packages. These can be sent directly to customer through an as-built structure.

LOB AND PERFORMANCE ME TRICSWe operate an efficient schedule and progress control and reporting system, using an automated Line of Balance (LOB) from our ERP-LN system. Daily updated LOB and metrics reports are visualized on status boards in production.
