IDV is excited to share that FMV, The Swedish Defence Material Administration, has acquired the VIKING Uncrewed Ground Vehicle (UGV). The VIKING UGV will play a crucial role in FMV’s Demonstrator Autonom Mångfunktionell Markplattform (DAMM) / Autonomous Multifunctional Ground Vehicle Demonstrator Programme.

In addition to the UGV, FMV has partnered with IDV for our Command and Control Basestation, along with ongoing technical support for integration and upgrades throughout the programme.

It was an honour to host representatives from FMV and FOI Sweden this month for operator training with their new VIKING UGV.
The UGV will now be shipped onwards Sweden for an exciting programme of experimentation and trials.

IDV is proud to announce that its VIKING uncrewed ground vehicle (UGV) will be trialled by the Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV) as part of its Autonomous Multifunctional Ground Vehicle Demonstrator Programme. This follows on from recent successful demonstrations at the Alpine Star exercise in Italy and the AUKUS TORVICE trials across the UK, USA and Australia. The IDV VIKING is a 6x6 plug-in series hybrid diesel UGV which delivers exceptional versatility for modern defence operations. With an electric-only range of 20km and low acoustic/thermal signature, VIKING provides crucial tactical advantages in contested environments. The innovative UGV features a 750kg payload capacity, 200km+ hybrid range, and our proprietary MACE (Modular Autonomous Control Equipment) system with ATLAS AI-based navigation for reliable operation even in GNSS-denied environments.

The Swedish programme will evaluate how UGVs perform across multiple roles, their integration with crewed systems, and effectiveness in countering autonomous threats including drones.
