Saab receives lightweight torpedo order from Sweden

Saab

Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the delivery of Saab Lightweight Torpedoes (SLWT) and torpedo tubes. The order value is approximately SEK 1.3 billion, with the start of deliveries during 2026.

Saab Lightweight Torpedo, named Torped 47 by the Swedish Armed Forces, is Sweden's new light torpedo system aimed at strengthening Sweden's naval defence capabilities. The torpedo is intended primarily to be used from submarines and surface ships, but it is also prepared for integration on helicopters.

This is the second order from Sweden for the SLWT, with the first deliveries to FMV beginning in 2022.

"We are proud to continue to support Sweden in its efforts to modernise underwater weapon systems in order to protect the Baltic Sea region. This state-of-the-art system is providing the Swedish Armed Forces with increased capabilities, including torpedoes, spare parts, training systems, and technical support," says Mats Wicksell, Head of Saab's business area Kockums.

The torpedo has been specially developed for the environment in the Baltic Sea region with its shallow water and a complex topography and seabed. These place high demands on the locating and identification of submarines, as well as on navigation and communication by the torpedo.
