Norway's Nammo Unveils Vehicle Attack Munition (VAM) Concept for Drones at Eurosatory 2026

Norwegian defence manufacturer Nammo has officially unveiled a new Vehicle Attack Munition (VAM) concept at Eurosatory 2026, with the announcement first reported by defence media outlet Jane's.

System Architecture and Technical Specifications

The system uses the MRM2-10 UAV, developed by Croatian manufacturer Orca, as its delivery platform. It is equipped with a 66 mm N7 high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) shaped-charge warhead, with a total system weight of approximately 1.5 kg. According to Nammo representatives, the warhead achieved complete penetration of more than 450 mm of rolled homogeneous armour (RHA) under test conditions.

Precision Strikes Against Armoured Targets

Nammo Communications Director Thorstein Korsvold told Jane's that the system is specifically designed for precision engagement of armoured vehicles. In a demonstration video shown to media, an operator-guided drone munition was depicted striking a multiple rocket launcher (MRL), with the shaped charge hitting the rocket storage section and igniting the propellant — demonstrating significant secondary damage effects.

The Growing Trend of Lightweight Drones Integrated with Anti-Armour Munitions

The VAM concept reflects a clear battlefield trend: lightweight UAV platforms are increasingly being integrated with anti-armour warheads, enabling frontline forces to deliver precision munitions against armoured vehicles and high-value targets via drone. This approach significantly enhances operational flexibility and stand-off engagement capability.
