When the Swedish Armed Forces enter critical and hostile situations on land, sea or air, it is Micropol’s fiber optic technology that keeps systems connected. The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration, FMV introduced fiber optics to the Swedish Armed Forces in the early 1980’s. Since then Micropol has partnered with FMV in developing passive fiber optic components for extreme environments. Their non-standard and demanding specifications include testing the components for sub-water functionality, as well as battle tank weight exposure.Much of Micropol’s advanced technology that is available for the civil market has its origin from products developed for the Swedish Armed Forces.
