Swedish Defence Material Administration has purchased two Autonomous Underwater Vehicles from Hydroid, Inc.

The Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV) has purchased two Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) from Hydroid, Inc., a subsidiary of Kongsberg Maritime. The REMUS 100 AUVs will be used to support Sweden’s mine countermeasures program, especially in harbors and other confined or shallow waters. Sweden’s previous purchase of two Hydroid AUVs in 2009 was highly successful leading the Swedish Defense Forces to increase their AUV fleet to four REMUS 100 vehicles.

"Hydroid is proud to continue its strong partnership with Swedish Defense Forces through the purchase of these REMUS 100s," said Christopher von Alt, President and co-founder of Hydroid. "Sweden is one of 13 countries across the globe whose navies rely on Hydroid AUVs for collecting undersea data to protect their people and their borders."
