Civil technology is important for increasing Sweden's defense capabilities in a troubled world.The Civil-Military Innovation Program (CMIP) will strengthen cooperation between civilian and military actors and ensure that the Armed Forces have access to the innovative power needed to meet future security challenges. At the same time, new areas of application for civilian-developed technology are created and the competitiveness and opportunities for Swedish companies to operate in the international market are strengthened.
Project receiving funding in the program develop, among other things, robot-based odor systems, ultralight vehicles, and AI-powered camera systems in drones. Companies in both the startup sector and well-established defense companies participate in the program.
