The contract was signed during the Navy Tech Conference in Gothenburg, reflecting continued confidence in the platform following its operational deployment. Officials said the additional systems and payload modules will enhance mission capability and operational flexibility.
GAVIA autonomous underwater vehicles are currently used for mine countermeasures and explosive ordnance disposal tasks. The systems can also be adapted for other missions, including surveys of critical underwater infrastructure.
The platform’s modular design allows for rapid reconfiguration to meet changing operational requirements. This approach is intended to reduce logistical demands while maintaining operational effectiveness.
“We appreciate the continued trust placed in Teledyne Gavia by FMV and the Swedish Armed Forces,” said Stefán Reynisson. “This follow on order reinforces the value of GAVIA’s modular design and proven performance, and we are proud to continue supporting Sweden’s undersea operational capabilities.”
The order forms part of a multi-year framework agreement supporting Sweden’s naval modernisation and underwater surveillance objectives. Teledyne Gavia said it continues to work closely with FMV to ensure long-term support and operational readiness.
Teledyne Marine, a division of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, develops a range of marine technologies including acoustic imaging and unmanned underwater systems. The company said its products are designed to enhance operational capabilities and improve understanding of the marine environment.
