Sweden Orders Torpedo Tubes for Surface Ships
Saab has received an order worth around $15 million from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration for a new torpedo tube for lightweight torpedos.
The order value is approximately SEK 150 million ($15.3 million), and there is an option to increase the quantity of the order. Deliveries will take place during 2023.
The new torpedo tube will have the customer designation Tub m/20 in Sweden, and will replace the tube currently in use on the Swedish Navy’s corvettes.
The tube is designed to meet future requirements, enabling a larger torpedo payload as well easier and more user-friendly loading and unloading. Saab designed the launch system to provide higher availability and to enable surveillance of the tube from a naval command and control centre.
The torpedo tube was developed when Finland placed its order for the Saab New Lightweight Torpedo for its Pohjanmaa class corvettes.
