HiQ signs framework agreement with the Swedish Defence Material Administration within systems development The IT and management consultancy HiQ is signing a framework agreement with FMV, the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration. The agreement covers services such as development, support and maintenance of the Swedish armed forces' logistics systems. The agreement is effective for two years and is estimated to be worth around SEK 60 million. HiQ has worked with FMV since 1992. The work has primarily involved the development and integration of training simulators for the JAS 39 Gripen as well as analysis, development and procurement work in telecoms and simulation. "Logistics systems today make up an increasingly larger part of the armed forces' IT activities, since national and international operations can be made more efficient using functional systems.
