Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) on sensors and command-and-control systems for a ground-based air defence system solution for brigades. The order has been priced at approximately SEK 2.1 billion (approx. A $339.7 million). Deliveries will take place 2027-2028.
“We are very proud to contribute to a strengthened ground-based air defence capability for the Swedish brigades. The contract gives an increased capability to control the battle, but also to detect and engage airborne threats through world-class command-and-control and sensor systems," Head of Saab’s business area Surveillance, Carl-Johan Bergholm, said.
The command and control and the sensor systems have continued to build on previous deliveries to FMV to strengthen the Swedish ground-based air defence. In addition to the command-and-control system (LSS Lv) and the Giraffe 1X radar, the order will consist of weapon system integration, studies and spare parts.
The contract has also included an integration study to complement the ground-based air defence system for brigades with Giraffe AMB radar for medium-range surveillance.
The command-and-control system for ground-based air defence (LSS Lv) is software used by the unit to control the battle in engaging air targets, distribute target data and perform planning and evaluation of the ground-based air defence combat.
