Any potential offset agreement would be defined in negotiations between Norway and Lockheed Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe proposed sale will improve Norway\u2019s capability to meet current and future threats and enhance its interoperability with U.S. and other allied forces,\u201d the DSCA release said. \u201cIt will also enhance Norway\u2019s artillery and mid-range fire capability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine\u2019s effective use of HIMARS to target invading Russian forces beyond the range of tube artillery has kindled European interest in rocket artillery systems, prompting several defense firms to team up on offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2023\/06\/23\/lockheed-rheinmetall-pair-up-to-build-europe-made-rocket-launcher\/\" target=\"_blank\">partnered in 2023<\/a> to offer a European-made launcher \u2014 based on HIMARS \u2014 to Germany, while KNDS and Elbit Systems have teamed up to develop the EuroPULS next-generation rocket-artillery system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Romania and Poland already operate HIMARS, while the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have placed orders for the system. The U.S. in December approved a possible sale of 21 HIMARS launchers to Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, Poland is the only European operator of Hanwha\u2019s Chunmoo rocket artillery. The Netherlands in May 2023 picked Elbit for its PULS rocket artillery platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Denmark and Spain have also bought the PULS, and Germany has said it plans to order the Israeli system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, French firms Safran and Thales are developing competing proposals in response to a French demand for a rocket-artillery system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Editor\u2019s note: This article has been updated to reflect that the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency has only inquired about
