The Finnish Defence Forces and the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) have signed an Implementation Arrangement on cooperation in preparing the procurement of tracked armoured personnel carriers. The arrangement enables technology cooperation in the pre-series procurement of the Patria TRACKX tracked vehicle developed by Patria, as well as in potential follow-on procurements.
The Patria TRACKX tracked armoured personnel carrier has been developed as part of the multinational FAMOUS programme co-funded by the European Defence Fund (EDF).

The signed Implementation Arrangement enables the exchange of information related to Patria TRACKX during the pre-series procurement phase. Finland and Sweden will take national decisions on the procurement of pre-series vehicles and will conduct their own assessments regarding suitability for operational use and potential follow-on procurements within their armed forces.
The Implementation Arrangement for Common Arctic Mobility, IA CAM between Finland and Sweden, was signed on 15 June at the Eurosatory 2026 event in Paris by Lieutenant General Jari Mikkonen, the Finnish Defence Forces Deputy Chief of Staff, Armaments and Logistics, and Brigadier General Jonas Lotsne, Director of the Land Systems Department of the Swedish Defence Agency (FMV).
