BAE Systems has secured a contract worth $180 million from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the TRIDON Mk2 anti-aircraft system.

The TRIDON Mk2 is a truck-mounted 40 mm anti-aircraft gun system that addresses a gap in today's air defense. The system has multi-target capability and can engage a wide range of aerial threats, including drones, cruise missiles and aircraft. Additionally, it can target ground threats such as armored vehicles, providing protection and security for both military forces and civil infrastructure.

“We are more committed than ever to providing our customers with protection from ever-evolving aerial threats,” said Lena Gillström, president of BAE Systems Bofors. “The TRIDON Mk2 has been designed for today’s warfare, and we will continue to deliver cutting-edge solutions to put our customers in the best position to meet future challenges.”

In February, on behalf of Sweden and Denmark, the FMV procured TRIDON Mk2 systems to donate to Ukraine, as part of a package to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities.

Able to combat multiple threats quickly, TRIDON Mk2 is a high-precision, cost-effective system that is easy to deploy and simple to maintain. Its modular design allows it to adapt to changing needs and to evolve with new technologies.
