Stockholm/Paris. 03 April 2025 –.The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) signed an agreement with Thales for the delivery of the Thales Ground Master 200 Multi-Mission Compact radar (GM200 MM/C). Building on strong international NATO cooperation, the agreement will contribute to maintaining Swedish airspace sovereignty.
Thanks to Thales’s strong industrial ramp-up programme and ability to produce in short lead times, the first deliveries are scheduled for 2026.
The GM200 MM/C medium range radar will contribute to strengthening the recognised air picture for the Swedish Armed Forces. The radar delivers more time-on-target across a wide spectrum of threats thanks to the latest generation in 4D AESA technology*.
The compact design of the system also provides increased mission flexibility due to its mobility and short deployment times.
“We are very proud to be selected by FMV to further strengthen Swedish sovereign and defence capabilities in an increasingly challenging environment. The Thales GM200 MM/C, with its high-end technology, will play a vital role contributing to the overall national security”, says Håkan Ahlström, Country Director Sweden, Thales.
