Teledyne Gavia, a leader in modular autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems and part of Teledyne Marine, has received a follow-on order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for additional GAVIA AUVs and payload modules. The agreement builds on the successful delivery of initial systems to the Swedish Armed Forces in 2025.
Signed during the Navy Tech Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden, the order reflects FMV’s continued confidence in the GAVIA platform following its operational deployment. The additional vehicles and modules will further expand mission capability and operational flexibility for the Swedish Armed Forces.
GAVIA AUV systems are currently employed in Mine Countermeasures (MCM) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations, with the adaptability to support additional mission profiles such as critical underwater infrastructure surveys. The system’s modular architecture enables rapid reconfiguration to meet evolving operational requirements while minimizing logistics burden.
“We appreciate the continued trust placed in Teledyne Gavia by FMV and the Swedish Armed Forces,” said Stefán Reynisson, VP and General Manager of Teledyne Gavia. “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 falls under a multiyear framework agreement supporting the Swedish Armed Forces’ fleet modernization and underwater surveillance objectives. Teledyne Gavia continues to work closely with FMV to ensure long-term support and sustained operational readiness.
