Sweden is ordering a large stock of the Bofors 57mm 3P advanced
ammunition, for an order value of approximately $18 million. This
is a critical step for the Swedish Armed Forces as they continue
their efforts to increase readiness in the face of the current
security situation in Central Europe. The FMV also has a contract
option for additional quantities in 2023.
Finland is also ordering a considerable stock of rounds of the
ammunition, valued at approximately $14 million. This is an
important step in reinforcing the security of supplies as Finland,
and in particular the Finnish Navy, also confirms its
readiness.
“Our customers in Sweden and Finland are investing in our
advanced 3P ammunition as part of their plans to increase
preparedness in a more dynamic security situation,” said Stefan
L�fstr�m, director of marketing and sales at BAE Systems Bofors in
Karlskoga, Sweden. “We continue to see interest from other
potential customers who are looking for the flexibility and
adaptability that our 3P products bring.”
The 3P ammunition is designed for the Bofors 57 Mk3 naval gun
system, which is the standard naval gun in both the Swedish and
Finnish navies. The company also produces a 40mm 3P which can be
fired from the Bofors 40 Mk4 gun system. Both variants can be
programmed in six different function modes. It is a flexible and
multipurpose round, suitable to defeat targets such as drones,
missiles, and helicopters, swarming boats, surface vessels, and
land targets. It can also be fired from combat vehicles, such as
the Swedish Army’s CV90s, which are equipped with a Bofors 40mm
turret.
