**The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has signed a framework agreement with Swedish company Svekon for new weapon mounts for the Swedish Armed Forces' vehicles, ships and aircraft. The framework agreement has a stated value of SEK 60 million and covers mounts for both existing and new firearms. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.**

According to [FMV](https://www.fmv.se/aktuellt--press/aktuella-handelser/nya-vapenhallare-for-eldhandvapen/), the new mounts will, among other things, replace existing equipment in the Stridsfordon 90 (CV90) combat vehicle, tracked vehicles and armoured all-terrain vehicles. They will also be installed in newly procured vehicles.

The mounts are designed to be adaptable to several weapon types, including the AK 24, AK 25, AK 5 and AK 4 rifles. The weapons are secured at their centre of gravity rather than at the barrel, which according to FMV reduces the risk of damage during transport.

In a [press release](https://svekon.se/svekon-tecknar-ramavtal-med-fmv-for-vapenhallare/), Svekon states that development work has been under way for just over a year. Remaining tests and verification are now to be completed ahead of delivery.

The framework agreement runs for three years, with the possibility of extension up to a total of seven years. FMV has not yet placed an initial call-off order, but expects this to happen shortly. Delivery is to take place within six months of a call-off order, while installation in existing vehicles will depend on the Swedish Armed Forces' planning. According to FMV, the Swedish Coast Guard (Kustbevakningen) has also expressed interest in using the agreement.
