> FMV has signed a framework agreement with the Spanish company Sener for new target missile systems for the test site in Vidsel, in order to meet NATO's requirements for being able to simulate threats such as drones and slow missiles. Within two years, the test site will have five different types of target missiles, which is expected to provide increased capability at a lower cost.

**The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has signed a framework agreement with the Spanish company Sener for a new target drone system for the test site in Vidsel (northern Sweden). The system will be used to complement existing target drones and meet new requirements for test operations within NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).**

According to [FMV](https://www.fmv.se/aktuellt–press/aktuella-handelser/fmv-koper-nytt-malrobotsystem), the agreement runs for three years with an option for a further seven years and covers three types of target drones.

"With this, we are bringing in an additional system, which will complement our existing one. We are doing this because, in a NATO context, we need to be able to provide target drones that correspond to the smaller, slow-moving missiles and drones that represent one of the actual threats on today's battlefield," says Kenneth Dådring, head of the target section at FMV, on the agency's website.

The first target drone to be delivered is the propeller-driven MOAI. During the fourth quarter of 2026, FMV's personnel will be trained on the system and the first ten target drones will be delivered.

The introduction of the Scrab III target drone is also planned for 2027.

"After that, during 2027, we will bring in Scrab III, which will replace our existing target drones in the flight profiles we define as somewhat simpler, that is, in flights with low G-load," says Kenneth Dådring.

A third target drone is also included in the agreement and will be delivered at a later date. According to FMV, the test site in Vidsel will therefore have five different types of target drones within two years.

"By now purchasing target drones from Sener, we will achieve an increase in capability while at the same time reducing our costs," says Kenneth Dådring.
