Technical support for amphibious systems
The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has granted SSPA a framework agreement covering the supply of technical consultancy services in amphibious systems for the Swedish military.
Amphibious systems are used where water meets land and the Swedish Armed Forces are using speed boats such as combat boats, ferries and hovercrafts.
- “We are looking forward to continue to support FMV and deliver technical support for the amphibious systems. The framework agreement has options to be extended until 2020”, says Magnus Forsberg, SSPA.
For SSPA, this means supplying the administration with support in newbuilding and conversion projects with feasibility studies, technical project management, technical specifications, maintenance planning, documentation, design, testing and trials, and administrative support.
One example is the recently completed project, a "make-over" and conversion of HMS Skaftö (link to text and video clip on www.fmv.se, in Swedish).

SSPA has a long history of supplying consultancy services in support of the development of the Swedish Armed Forces’ marine systems (surface ships, submarines and amphibious systems), primarily on behalf of the FMV. Among other things, SSPA has provided FMV with expertise and consultancy services in a number of technical fields within the Visby class Corvette project.

The entire series of five ships have been delivered to and accepted into full service. During the project SSPA has supported with expertise and consultancy services in a number of technical areas.
The vital survivability
The survivability of a warship is its ability to remain operational in a hostile environment. It is the protector of both life and property, yet it is often a low-prioritised aspect of the design. It can be an attribute fitted on an existing vessel, but the most efficient solutions are integrated in the early stages of design.
