July 7, 2025, by Fatima Bahtić

Swedish defense company Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration for 22 combat boats.

Saab’s combat boats are advanced platforms that can be used for many different types of missions. They will be manufactured by Saab’s shipyard in Docksta. The order was booked in Q2 2025.

Deliveries will be made continuously over the coming years.

The Docksta shipyard has been manufacturing combat boats for the Swedish Armed Forces since the late 1980s.

Saab highlighted that, since then, hundreds of combat boats from Docksta have been produced for countries around the world.

The most recent order from Sweden was placed in June 2024, when ten combat boats were ordered. The boats are based on the CB90 next-generation design.

“This order represents a significant addition to Sweden’s naval capabilities. We are proud that Saab’s combat boats continue to contribute to Sweden’s defence,” said Mats Wicksell, head of Saab’s business area Kockums.

In May this year, Sweden also ordered Saab’s lightweight torpedoes (SLWT) and torpedo tubes. The SLWT, designated Torped 47 by the Swedish Armed Forces, is a light torpedo system designed to enhance Sweden’s ability to detect and counter underwater threats in the Baltic Sea.

The torpedo is intended for use from submarines and surface vessels and has also been prepared for potential integration with helicopter platforms in the future.
