ÅF wins key framework agreement with FMV

ÅF has signed a major framework agreement with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration, FMV. Based on FMV's own assessments of the volumes of consulting services required, the agreement is estimated to be worth approximately SEK 70 million (8.2 million euros) over a seven-year period.

As part of the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration's procurement of services in the field of Command & Control Systems, ÅF has won rights within the framework agreement as sole supplier of services in the area of Sensors. The agreement will run for an initial three years with an option to extend collaboration for a further four years.

"This is an important agreement for ÅF's defence sector work. We have many years' experience as a supplier to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration and are delighted to be able to continue to offer our support and extend it to new areas of operations. As a result of this agreement, ÅF will be looking to recruit more staff, in the first instance in the Stockholm and Enköping areas," says Jaime Rico, Business Area Manager Defence.

Recruitment will be made among specialists with system competence in sensors and those with operational and systems competence in military command and control systems.
