The company will carry out the majority of the associated work at its facilities in Gothenburg, Växjö, and Halmstad in Sweden. Some work will also take place on-site, at the customer’s location.

Saab Tactical Support Solutions business unit head Michael Olofsson said: “By providing continued support, we contribute to ensuring the readiness of Swedish ground based air defence systems and that the Armed Forces can continue to keep Sweden’s airspace safe.”

Saab is also providing support for the RBS 97 portable anti-aircraft defence systems, along with other command and control systems and software used by the Swedish forces.

The company has been providing support services for the Swedish Armed Forces’ GBAD systems for over six decades now.

In 2020, Saab was contracted by FMV to deliver an integrated sensor and command and control system to enhance the Swedish Army’s GBAD capabilities.
