Naval Group signed a contract in Stockholm on 31 August 2026 to supply four frigates of defence and intervention to the Swedish Royal Navy. The deal was signed with Sweden’s defence ministry and FMV, less than four months after Sweden selected the FDI, with first delivery due in 2030.
Birdon said it secured an $18.3m contract from Sweden’s Defence Materiel Administration to deliver 15 Bridge Erection Boats, and it also won a 20-year deal to design, build, operate and maintain the new Daintree River Ferry in Australia. The company said production began on two prototype ASC-M landing craft for the US Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, while build-out of 27 Waterways Commerce Cutters for the US Coast Guard is under way.
