The NATO Help and Procurement Company (NSPA) will procure a brand new anti-ship missile and land-attack system for the Spanish Navy. The brand new missiles might be built-in on the brand new F-110 Frigates (beneath development) and can exchange the ageing RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles in service on the F-100 Álvaro de Bazán-class frigates as a part of their Mid-Life Improve Programme. By means of the institution of a top level view settlement, NSPA will procure the Naval Strike Missile for the Spanish Navy. The procurement might be executed through the NATO Help and Procurement Company Ammunition Help Partnership.

The Álvaro de Bazán class is a category of Aegis fight system-equipped air defence frigates in service with the Spanish Navy. The vessels have been constructed by Spanish shipbuilder Navantia in Ferrol, with the lead ship of the category named for Admiral Álvaro de Bazán. The ships are fitted with the USA Aegis weapons system permitting them to trace a whole lot of airborne targets concurrently as a part of its air defence community.

Its steerage system combines GPS Aided Inertial System (GPSINS) and Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM). The NSM is ready to fly over and round landmasses, journey in sea skim mode, after which make random manoeuvres within the terminal part, making it more durable to cease by enemy countermeasures.
