VISBY- and GOTLAND-classes Will Also be Upgraded

The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has awarded Saab a contract to develop and manufacture Torpedo Integration Systems (TIS) for the Swedish Navy’s two A26-class submarines ordered in 2015. Delivery is scheduled for 2017-2020, during which time the company will also upgrade existing systems on-board the VISBY-class corvettes and GOTLAND-class submarines. Options covering future potential upgrades are also included.
