Sweden enhances coastal security with 51 SCANTER 5202 radars delivered by Terma

By Defence Industry Europe

Terma has delivered 51 SCANTER 5202 radars to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), a move that enhances Sweden’s ability to monitor and protect its extensive coastline. The delivery represents one of the largest in Terma’s recent history and marks a major modernisation of Sweden’s coastal surveillance network.

 

The new systems replace legacy Terma radars that have been in service for over two decades, significantly improving Sweden’s maritime domain awareness. SCANTER 5202 provides high-resolution detection of small surface vessels and low-flying aerial threats, supporting faster and more accurate decision-making in complex environments.

“These radars represent a vital step forward in strengthening Sweden’s maritime domain awareness,” said Thomas Blom, Senior Vice President of Terma Surveillance & Mission Systems. “In today’s unpredictable security landscape, high-performance surveillance systems like the SCANTER 5202 are critical to national resilience.”

The upgraded radar incorporates advanced features including built-in cybersecurity, jamming detection, and real-time tracking through Terma’s Edge Tracker. FMV’s decision to proceed follows years of rigorous testing, with the SCANTER series demonstrating proven reliability, cost efficiency, and long-term supportability.

This delivery underscores Terma’s role as a trusted defence partner to Sweden, capable of delivering complex projects at scale while continuing to meet commitments to other customers. The project reflects the strengthening of a long-standing defence relationship between Sweden and Terma.
