Saab stated that the contract will broaden Denmark’s live training resources in line with recent changes in warfare, enabling personnel to use advanced technologies and tactics during realistic, instrumented exercises.
Saab training and simulation business unit head Joakim Alhbin said: “By bringing capabilities such as drones and long-range precision effects into live exercises, soldiers can train as they will operate and build confidence before facing these situations for real.
“With this delivery, Denmark continues to develop one of the most modern and flexible Combat Training Centres in Europe.”
The contract follows a Skr680m order placed by DALO in June 2025 for Saab’s Combat Training Centre. Saab said four training sites were established under that contract.
It also follows Denmark’s decision in November 2025 to acquire 44 additional CV90MkIIIC infantry fighting vehicles from BAE Systems.
That package, valued at approximately $450m, includes spares, support, logistics and training.
Saab provides training systems designed to support realistic and interoperable training scenarios. The company reports that its training and simulation solutions are used in over 40 countries.
The contract comes as land-based simulation and training is expected to account for 62.4% of the global military simulation and training market, according to GlobalData.
In its ‘Global Military Simulation and Training Market Forecast 2026-2036’report, the data and analytics firm values the overall market at $29bn in 2026 and forecasts a 6.8% compound annual growth rate to $56.1bn by 2036.
