MBDA has signed a contract amendment with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration – FMV (Försvarets MaterielVerk) – to enable follow-on deliveries of the Common Anti-air Modular Missiles (CAMM).
This latest contract follows an initial one placed by the FMV in 2023, for use in MBDA’s SEA CEPTOR air defence system, which Sweden is integrating onto its domestically made Visby-class corvettes.
Lorenzo Mariani, Executive Group Director Sales and Business Development, declared: “Sweden continues to place its trust in MBDA’s world-class capabilities with this contract for further CAMM. Through continued partnership with MBDA in the air defence domain, Sweden is strengthening the protection of its sovereign airspace, while maintaining interoperability and security with its European and NATO allies. CAMM is a missile that has proven itself against the type of evolving threats we are seeing today, and we are honoured to play a critical role in supporting Swedish armed forces.”
Sweden is one of a growing number of nations choosing to defend their airspace with MBDA’s CAMM. This latest generation missile delivers a common stockpile for short to medium range air defence in both maritime and land domains. Its soft vertical launch technology creates a minimal launch signature, and provides 360° coverage with a high rate of fire and high performance against multiple simultaneous threats. Operators of CAMM have described its precision as so accurate it can strike targets as small as a tennis ball traveling at twice the speed of sound.
This latest contract from Sweden is also a testament to the continuation of MBDA’s proud history of partnership with the country and deepening MBDA’s ties with Swedish industry. Cooperation such as this is at the core of MBDA’s DNA, it is a golden thread with through multiple successful programmes. Building on these successes give us confidence in our future collaborations.
