The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration has placed a follow-on order for additional GAVIA autonomous underwater vehicles and payload modules from Teledyne Gavia, the company announced.



The agreement was signed during the Navy Tech Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden. This order follows the delivery of initial GAVIA systems to the Swedish Armed Forces in 2025.



The GAVIA AUV systems support Mine Countermeasures and Explosive Ordnance Disposal operations, with capability for underwater infrastructure surveys. The system's modular architecture allows for reconfiguration to meet different operational requirements.



"We appreciate the continued trust placed in Teledyne Gavia by FMV and the Swedish Armed Forces," said Stefán Reynisson, Vice President and General Manager of Teledyne Gavia. "This follow‑on order reinforces the value of GAVIA's modular design and proven performance, and we are proud to continue supporting Sweden's undersea operational capabilities."



The order is part of a multiyear framework agreement supporting the Swedish Armed Forces' fleet modernization and underwater surveillance objectives. The additional vehicles and payload modules will expand mission capability and operational flexibility for the Swedish Armed Forces.



Teledyne Gavia is part of Teledyne Marine, which belongs to Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY). The company did not disclose financial terms of the order.
