Saab Stories

In 9LV we combine some of the world's most advanced systems, including weapons and sensors. We think of the 9LV combat system as the brain linking all these pieces together. Here is 9LV in numbers. 

Drones are easy, accessible and great as tools or toys. But we have seen what trouble they can cause when they appear near airports, be it by accident or by malicious use. Rogue drones have recently resulted in total standstill at several major airports. So let’s take a look at why digital solutions for air traffic control paired with radar with drone detection capability are the perfect match for airports.

The first out of 18 of the all-new CB90 HSM has been delivered to the Swedish defense material administration (FMV). A brand new boat, equipped with a lot more than its predecessors: improved speed and maneuverability – as well as attack power and surveillance capabilities.

Recently Saab was honored with the Airbus Innovation Award for the new Overheat detection system (OHDS) currently being developed for Airbus A350. Meet us and learn more at NBAA, Las Vegas, October 22-24.

The image of the first Brazilian Gripen E during its first flight has been seen by a worldwide audience. We spoke to the man behind the picture – and what flying photography is all about. Enter the world of our colleague Linus Svensson.

On 26 October Saab received an order to provide and integrate the combat system for the Finnish Navy’s new Pohjanmaa-class corvettes within the Squadron 2020 programme. Here is an overview of what this means.

In order to be at the front edge of technical development and new ways of thinking, Saab leads or participates in several research and development projects. In one of the latest, the project resulted in the increased capability for the development of new energy-efficient aerial vehicles platform concepts. The result was of such a value it also received an award of excellence from the project organiser, ITEA (Information Technology for European Advancement).  

Former racing driver Charlotte Haegermark has the mission to foster an entrepreneurial mentality within Saab. The aim is to become a ‘hothouse’ of new ideas and collaborations.

High-tempo decision making in the confined environment of a ship is certainly challenging.  With our 9LV Combat Management System we enable the operators to make the right decisions, fast.  Here we list 5 quick facts.

What weighs almost 30.000 tonnes, is ready to travel across the globe and carries state of the art hospital facilities, trauma and intensive care units and a pressure chamber? The answer is, the Norwegian Navy’s new support vessel KNM Maud, currently based in Bergen, Norway. The onboard hospital has been designed and partly equipped by Saab. It may be limited by the space available inside a ship, but when it comes to intensive- and trauma care it is as capable as a medium to large land based Norwegian hospital.
