Saab was responsible for constructing, verifying and providing two new Type A26 submarines to the Swedish Navy for a total order value of Skr7.6bn ($870m) as part of the arrangement.

Deliveries of the vessels are slated to begin in 2022 and be finalised in 2024.

Saab also received another order from the FMV to modify and upgrade the Swedish Navy's two Koster-class mine countermeasures vessels (MCMVs) in July last year.

The company develops and maintains submarine systems in order to address various customer requirements, including propulsion, communication and targeting capabilities.
