In the naval area, these ranges are central to the measuring and verification of underwater signatures by naval ships and submarines. Today’s advanced sensors make it increasingly difficult to remain undetected. A low signature reduces the risk of being detected by the enemy’s weapons and reconnaissance systems.

The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration is a Swedish government agency that reports to the Ministry of Defence. The agency is responsible for the supply of materiel to the Swedish defence organisation. It is located in Stockholm.

FMV procures complex defence systems such as helicopters and submarines.

The largest current projects are the aircraft system JAS 39 Gripen, the mid-term modification (update) of two submarines in the Gotland class, the design and construction of two new submarines of the type A26, Archer which is a modern artillery system for indirect fire, the medium-range Air Defense System 103, Patriot, and Nordic Combat Uniform, NCU, which is a joint Nordic uniform project.
