BAE Systems (ISIN GB0002634946) has won a Swedish naval-gun contract covering four Bofors 57Mk3 systems and Bofors 57mm 3P ammunition. The company announced the award on October 21, 2026, in a release from BAE Systems Bofors.

The contract gives the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration a multirole naval gun designed for air defense, anti-surface warfare and naval fire support. According to BAE Systems, the ammunition can be used against drones, aircraft, missiles and surface targets.

What does the contract add?

The award broadens the Swedish Navy's existing relationship with BAE Systems and places the Bofors 57Mk3 in a portfolio designed for several threat classes. The company said the programmable ammunition is intended to improve the system's flexibility across air-defense and maritime missions, according to BAE Systems.

For investors, the announcement adds another defense order to BAE Systems' October activity. Its significance is operational rather than financial in the published release, because the announcement describes the systems and ammunition but does not provide a contract value.
