Kongsberg to Develop THOR Remote Control Terminal for Norwegian Military

Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has clinched a 255-million Norwegian kroner ($23 million) contract to develop the THOR Remote Control Terminal (tRCT) for the Norwegian armed forces.

The terminal features flexible architecture and can simultaneously manage operator controls and highly secure communications of several THOR combat net radios.

Designed for optimal use with radio, it is also compatible with other communications platforms such as satellites, 5G, and fixed infrastructure.

Part of project Mime, the contract is linked with the delivery of the THOR radio systems and a serial production contract is expected to follow.

Project Mime

The Mime project seeks to enhance the armed forces’ operational effectiveness through increased deliveries of information communication technology.

It comprises procurement of THOR systems and modernizing tactical management systems.

As part of the first phase of the program, Kongberg was awarded a 320-million Norwegian kroner ($29 million) contract in 2023 to develop tactical radio equipment and low-volume production of THOR Vehicle Radio Modules.
