03 Jan 23. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace is planning to build a new facility for missile production located at Arsenalet campus in Kongsberg, Norway. “This investment reflects an important achievement for our missile business. We have grown significantly in recent years and our order backlog is at a record high. The new facility will house some of the best technology Norway has to offer and will strengthen long-term value creation, competitiveness and development of high-tech industrial jobs in Kongsberg,” says Eirik Lie, President of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, in a press release. The current target is to have the new 25.000 square meter facility completed during the summer of 2024. The building will connect to the company’s existing facilities on campus to enable inter-divisional interaction and greater efficiencies. Kongsberg’s original production facility opened in 2007, and the industrial area at the campus has been expanded several times. When the new facility is completed in 2024, the campus will consist of a total of 75.000 square meters of production- and development space. The total investments within the Arsenalet campus amount to approximately NOK 3bn (about EUR 286m) and will house an estimated 1.200 employees. (Source: Google/https://evertiq.com/)

05 Jan 23. US Army chief information officer will depart in coming weeks. The U.S. Army’s top civilian information technology official is stepping down a little more than two years after taking the post and promising dramatic digital change in the military’s largest service. Chief Information Officer Raj Iyer announced his departure Jan. 4 on LinkedIn. Iyer’s exit will take several weeks, and no specific date is yet set, he told C4ISRNET and Army Times. Further inquiries were directed to his office, which did not immediately respond. It’s not immediately clear who will succeed Iyer. In his announcement on social media, Iyer, who previously worked at audit, advisory, tax and consulting services firm Deloitte, said he took the CIO gig in 2020 after reflecting on the lackluster state of Army IT. The Department of Defense is often criticized for moving far too slowly when compared with the agility of commercial companies. (Source: Defense News)
