Norwegian defense company Kongsberg Gruppen ASA (KOG.OS) said on Friday said it has received a NOK560 million ($73.4 million) order from Lockheed Martin for deliveries of rudders and vertical leading edges for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

The contract is a continuation of deliveries from previous production lots.

Kongsberg said that the contract represents "the first contractual indication that the ramp up of F-35 aircraft delivery rate is now coming."
