FMV Orders BONUS Ammunition for 600 Million
FMV has signed a contract with BAE Systems Bofors for the delivery of BONUS ammunition valued at 600 million SEK. This strengthens the Swedish Armed Forces' indirect fire capability.
BONUS (Bofors Nutating Shell) is a 155 mm artillery shell equipped with two target-seeking submunitions designed to combat armored vehicles with top-attack capability. The ammunition is jointly developed by Bofors and the French defense company KNDS.
– With additional orders of BONUS shells, we secure deliveries for several years ahead and strengthen the Swedish Armed Forces' indirect fire capability, says Carl-Axel Blomdahl, Head of Weapons and Protection at FMV, in the press release.
According to Bofors, the contract is a testament to the product's performance and significance in operational use.
– The new contract further strengthens the Swedish Armed Forces' indirect fire capability and shows that our products make a difference, comments Henrik Knape, Sales Manager Ammunition, in a post on LinkedIn.
