Saab has announced a strategic investment of EUR €11.1 million (approx. A $18.2 million) for a 10 per cent equity stake in Paris-based battlefield AI company, Comand AI.
The investment brings Comand AI’s AI-native planning solutions and technical experience into Saab’s research and development (R&D) ecosystem, supporting the continued evolution of Saab’s command and control (C2) and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) capabilities, including systems such as GlobalEye and ongoing initiatives for multi-domain C2.
“C5ISR systems are central to modern multi-domain operations, and advanced AI is an important enabler for future capability. By partnering with Comand AI, we are strengthening the development of Saab’s C2 and C5ISR capabilities while bringing Swedish defence expertise and French AI innovation together. This collaboration also underlines the value of European cooperation in support of long-term security,” head of Saab’s business area Surveillance, Carl-Johan Bergholm, stated.
The initiative also strengthens Saab’s co-operation with French industry, promoting a deeper integration within the French innovative technology sector.
The agreement is pending approval from regulatory authorities.
