US Navy awards Zone 5 Technologies $65M for Rusty Dagger cruise missiles under CHAOS
The US Navy has contracted Zone 5 Technologies, a Kongsberg subsidiary, to build its combat-proven Rusty Dagger low-cost cruise missile for the Coalition Heterogeneous Affordable Offensive Strike (CHAOS) program. The $65 million deal is the second CHAOS contract awarded. Rusty Dagger has already seen operational use.
Why it matters: A Norwegian-owned firm is delivering the Navy's attritable cruise missile — which tells you how far American industry has fallen behind European partners in the one-way strike game.
