Six new SKJOLD-class missile fast patrol boats belonging to the Royal Norwegian Navy are to be equipped with the MASS decoy countermeasure system made by Buck Neue Technologien GmbH. The procurement contract for six MASS (Multi Ammunition Softkill System) has just been agreed between Norway's Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS and Buck Neue Technologien GmbH of Neuenburg/Baden, a subsidiary of Germany's Rheinmetall DeTec AG.
During its first year on the market, MASS was already selected by the German Navy for the K130 corvette and by the Finnish Navy for its new SQUADRON 2000 fast attack craft and Hämeenmaa minelayers. This means that Norway's SKJOLD fast patrol boats represent the fourth class of naval vessels to be equipped with MASS
