According to FMV, the new tents can withstand snowstorms, wind, and rain, which makes them compatible for use with Sweden’s multi-domain forces. 

Prior to the delivery of the first batch of tents, FMV in collaboration with the supplier conducted product training for the Swedish Armed Forces in autumn last year.  

Delivery of these tents will continue over the next few years. 

The procurement of these tents is part of a broader effort to enhance the technical service capabilities of the armed forces.  

FMV General Maintenance Equipment head Caroline Genfors said: “We are proud to be able to deliver these tents, as they help to quickly create a weather-protected environment for, for example, for the equipment maintenance and storage.” 

In December 2023, FMV also entered a framework agreement with Svekon for the design and production of staff tents.  

This collaboration, which includes Tekonf, will result in the delivery of the first 300 out of a potential 1,300 tents by the second quarter of 2025.
