The project has experienced several delays; the delivery date of the first submarine was initially scheduled for this year, but has reportedly been postponed to the 2027-2028 time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Sweden\u2019s pending NATO membership is approved, one of the key defense assets Stockholm can contribute to the alliance is its experience in navigating the Baltic Sea, a vulnerable area shared with Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Swedish Navy currently operates five diesel-electric submarines. Once the new boats are completed, they will offer the capability to release unmanned underwater vehicles and special forces for improved subsurface operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Swedish defense officials are also interested in the acquisition of light, autonomous, underwater vehicles to meet the mine countermeasure needs of its armed forces. A notice to that effect was published Dec. 4 by the Tenders Electronic Daily, an European online catalog of public procurements. It noted the envisioned underwater drones will cost about $14 million and must be light enough for crews to handle while riding in rigid inflatable boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nations are increasingly turning to drones for the dangerous work of disabling sea mines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NATO\u2019s Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation, based in Italy, has been conducting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmre.nato.int\/research\/mine-countermeasures\" target=\"_blank\">tests <\/a>to determine how feasible the use of high-resolution sonars mounted on sea drones is for the identification and classification of mines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The country&#8217;s Navy wants new
