About Us

The Swedish Armed Forces are in a dynamic growth phase to build a stronger defense that can meet the deteriorating global situation. In the air domain, this requires both new units and capabilities, where cutting-edge technology is a central part. This means we are in an exciting phase with deliveries of new material systems such as the JAS 39 Gripen E, S106 Globaleye, new tactical transport aircraft C-390, drones, command systems, satellites, etc. The Air Force procures material annually for approximately 20 billion SEK.
