Ovzon has won a new contract from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) that will see Ovzon deliver a resilient satellite communications solution to the organization. The solution will include mobile satellite terminals and the Ovzon 3-based satcom service to enable a unique implementation and demonstration with unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The demonstration will take place during second half of November in Sweden. Ovzon announced the deal on November 11.

Ovzon’s satellite communications aim to support sovereign use cases where services can be controlled within a country’s borders, while deployed anywhere in the world. Ovzon aims to provide strong resilience through the Ovzon 3 satellite and the on-board processor. The objective of the demonstration is to showcase these capabilities while remotely controlling an unmanned vehicle over large distances.

“Within a short period of time we have created a significant interest in Ovzon 3’s unique capabilities and initiated implementation with several governmental organizations in the U.S. and Europe. Our solutions, that combine high performance, mobility and resiliency, make Ovzon ideal in supporting critical missions within defense, national security and public safety. We see this demonstration as an important step to further deepen our relationship with Swedish defense organizations,” Per Norén, Ovzon’s CEO, said in a statement.
