Fjord Defence - ultra-lightweight weapon mounts and tripods

Fjord Defence is quietly transforming how Europe arms its forces at the tactical edge. This Norwegian company has pioneered ultra-lightweight weapon mounts and tripods that allow soldiers and sailors to deploy heavy firepower with unprecedented agility and precision.

In an era when Europe is striving for strategic autonomy, Fjord Defence delivers a homegrown solution to a niche capability often overlooked – the ability to rapidly mount and stabilise weapons on a wide array of platforms. By combining advanced materials with clever engineering, its mounts reduce weight and recoil, making high-calibre machine guns easier to handle without sacrificing accuracy.
