Saab has received a major order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for its Trackfire Remote Weapon Station (RWS), valued at approximately SEK 1.5 billion. The contract was booked in the fourth quarter of 2025, with deliveries scheduled between 2026 and 2028.
According to the press release, The FMV order will serve the Swedish Army and the Amphibious Battalion 2030, which is an ongoing defence project aimed at developing the future amphibious forces within the Swedish Armed Forces.
“We are honoured that Trackfire RWS has been selected as a crucial part of the future capabilities for the Swedish amphibious forces and the Swedish Army. This order reflects our commitment to delivering state-of-the-art solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern defence. Trackfire RWS, with its precision and adaptability, will be a vital asset in enhancing operational effectiveness,” says Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.
Trackfire RWS is a fully stabilized, remotely operated dual-weapon station that offers pinpoint accuracy while on the move, whether mounted on naval vessels, land vehicles, or stationary defence positions. The FMV order includes the new Trackfire ARES (Aerial Response) RWS, equipped with a 30x113 mm M230LF Bushmaster chain gun as its primary weapon, which provides effective anti-drone (C-UAS) capability.
