Swedish Security and Defence Industry - structure and products
Since the early 1990s, Sweden has seen a restructuring that has completely reshaped the industrial landscape. New corporate structures and international co-operations have evolved as a result of economic necessity and political intent, worldwide. This global trend has also had far-reaching consequences for the Swedish defence industry. There have been institutional changes facilitating internationalisation and cross border co-operation, but also a clear political demand on the industry to consolidate its resources domestically and co-operate internationally. During the last ten years the Swedish security and defence industry has been subject to extensive restructuring actions which have resulted in a substantial foreign ownership.
Sectors
The main sectors in Sweden’s defence industry today are:
Network-based command and control systems,
Telecommunications systems, including electronic countermeasures,
Combat aircraft; manned and unmanned,
Aircraft engines,
Command and control systems for land, marine and air applications,
Systems for exercise and training,
Electronic warfare systems; passive and active,
Camouflage and deception systems; UV, VIS, NIR, TIR and radar,
Surface vessels and submarines built with stealth technology,
Combat vehicles, tracked vehicles,
Short and long-range weapons systems; land, sea and air,
Air, sea and airborne radar and IR systems,
Small and large calibre ammunition,
Smart artillery ammunition,
Propellants, explosives and other pyrotechnical substances,
Support systems for operation and maintenance
Ranges for test and evaluation
The common denominator is the very high technological standard of the products. A number of large and small companies in Sweden also operate in other defence industry sectors. The picture of a highly-qualified defence industry is complemented by a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises, SMEs, with a relatively small military production.
