Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV)

Sweden has awarded GKN Aerospace a contract to build a clean-sheet turbojet-powered uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) demonstrator within 18 months to validate rapid development techniques.

Sweden’s defense materiel agency FMV has contracted Saab for an expansion of its ongoing multi-phase study work into future combat aircraft development.

Sweden's new fleet of Saab Gripen E combat aircraft will be built largely without reusing components from earlier models of the fighter, FMV says.

Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson has disclosed the August 2024 launch of its first military satellite, GNA-3, and detailed plans for future missions.

Saab says it plans to offer autonomous vehicles in all domains after its rapid development of drone capability for the Swedish armed forces.

Sweden is buying extra coastal anti-ship missile systems from Saab as part of the country’s wide-reaching effort to enhance its military capability.

The FMV says the first step is an order placed with the Swedish Space Corporation.

The Swedish government has signed a contract with Saab to acquire a third GlobalEye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system aircraft.

Sweden is beginning to ponder what follows the Gripen as it looks to preserve its national combat aircraft development capability.

Sweden has joined the growing list of nations to adopt MBDA’s Sea Ceptor missile system to protect its Visby-class corvette warships.

The contract is part of a multi-phase project on which GKN has been working since 2019 with Sweden’s Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) and Saab.
