Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for a mobile and modular counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS).
"With today's order Sweden will acquire an advanced mobile, modular counter-unmanned aerial system. This technology enhances airspace security by detecting, tracking, and mitigating unmanned aerial threats, and can be easily integrated with other systems," head of Saab's business area Surveillance, Carl-Johan Bergholm, stated.
The system is designed to protect the Swedish Armed Forces as well as civil infrastructure from threats posed by drones. The order has been estimated to cost approximately SEK 2.6 billion (approx. A $398 million) and deliveries will take place 2027-2028.
In partnership with the Swedish Armed Forces and FMV, Saab is developing and deploying an advanced C-UAS system that offers layered defence against modern drone threats. The system will strengthen and complement Sweden’s current air defence and drone defence posture.
Saab’s C-UAS is a modular, mobile platform designed to detect and neutralise low-flying small- to medium-sized drones. It integrates Saab sensors and effectors, as well as selected third-party technologies, into a single interoperable solution that connects with existing defence assets. Built on established components, the system is fully operational and ready for deployment, according to Saab.
