The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration’s Commercial Affairs Division awarded the contracts. The announcement did not disclose their value, delivery schedules or the number of systems ordered.
“Electronic warfare threats are evolving, and forces across NATO need navigation systems they can depend on,” said Alex Rose-Parfitt, engineering director at Raytheon UK. “By selecting the Landshield family of systems, Sweden is strengthening its ability to protect critical GPS signals across a range of platforms and maintain mission effectiveness in contested environments.”
The Landshield family uses a compact design suitable for land, maritime and air platforms. Raytheon UK did not identify which Swedish platforms would receive the equipment.
Landshield Plus combines an antenna and anti-jam processor in a single unit. It also gives operators real-time awareness of interference sources to help maintain reliable navigation.
Raytheon UK said the Swedish purchase reflected growing NATO and allied demand for anti-jamming equipment that can meet different operational requirements. The contracts add to the company’s expanding adoption across Europe and the alliance.
The systems are designed and manufactured in the UK. According to the company, thousands of its anti-jamming systems are already supporting allied operational effectiveness and interoperability across land, maritime and air domains.
