The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has placed an order with Saab to deliver ten of its remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems for deployment in the Swedish Navy.
Under the contract, Saab will deliver its Seaeye Falcon ROVs, which can be used for seabed surveys, inspections, light underwater operations and the recovery of objects.
Scheduled for delivery within 12 months, the new stand-alone systems will be integrated on patrol boats and auxiliary vessels operated by the Swedish Navy.
Saab Seaeye chairman Agneta Kammeby said: "This is another example of how Saab combines civil and military technology and adapts it for the requirements and purposes stipulated by the military.
