The order value for the air defence solution is approximately 2.1 billion SEK and the contract period is 2020-2025.
The order includes a number of Saab’s multifunctional radar Giraffe 4A and upgrades of the Swedish Armed Forces’ existing Giraffe AMB surface radars.

Anders Carp, deputy CEO of Saab and head of business area Surveillance, said: “Together with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration and the Swedish Armed Forces, we have created a comprehensive world-class solution that integrates the sensors, command and control systems and fire units in the ground based air defence system. This is an important order for Saab and we are proud to deliver a central part of Sweden’s defence capability”.
Saab will carry out the work in Gothenburg, Järfälla, Arboga and Halmstad in Sweden.
