Teledyne Gavia, a leader in modular autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems and part of Teledyne Marine, announced that the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has placed a follow-on order for additional GAVIA Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and payload modules. This order builds on the successful delivery of the initial GAVIA systems to the Swedish Armed Forces in 2025.
Agreement Signed at Navy Tech Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden
The agreement was signed during the Navy Tech Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden, reflecting FMV’s continued confidence in the GAVIA platform following its operational deployment. The additional vehicles and payload modules will further expand mission capability and operational flexibility for the Swedish Armed Forces.
Modular Architecture Supports MCM, EOD, and Critical Infrastructure Surveys
GAVIA AUV systems currently support Mine Countermeasures (MCM) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations, with the ability to adapt to 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.
