Saab Stories

Saab has launched a new capability for naval radars, the Hypersonic Detection Mode. In this article we take a look at what hypersonic threats are all about and how navies can protect vessels against them.

How do you attract and retain younger talents, and how do you make sure to benefit from their perspective? These are questions that many companies are tackling today. At Saab there is a reverse mentorship programme where junior employees coach bosses

Saab, the Swedish Armed Forces, and the Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV) share a long history of co-operation. In the development of Gripen E, this co-operation is being further enhanced, as the three organisations are now carrying out joint validation and verification of the combat aircraft system.

A new surface treatment facility is coming to completion at the naval shipyard in Karlskrona, Sweden. It’s the latest major step in the upgrading of the production facility, combining blasting, painting and surface washing. The new facility has a multiple impact: on lead time, overall quality and energy as well as environmental impact. The capacity is heavily increased – while emissions are kept down.

Saabs thinking edge is behind our products and solutions, which are driving innovation below and above the surface to help safeguard people and society. For decades, our solutions have supported more than 25 countries across the world in their naval operations, from the littorals to the open ocean.

With sensor threats constantly evolving, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for armed forces to act without being observed. Saab Barracuda is responding by developing camouflage with sophisticated – and surprising – features.

In the age of electronic warfare, the world’s defense forces are looking to Saab’s Aerial Target Services for safe training in the cutting-edge technologies used to handle radar and security threats. Here, Jonny Johansson and Henrik Landqvist discuss jamming, target towing, and their extraordinary life in the cockpit.

More than a missile

The littoral environment is unyielding terrain, which poses numerous dangers – such as confinement, clutter and adverse weather. Couple this with recent advances in technology, and it is clear we are facing ever-evolving and increasingly complex conflict scenarios in these environments. Forces must adapt or lose valuable people and assets.

For mobile forces out in the battlefield, air situational awareness is critical. The threat can consist of rockets, mortar, unmanned aerial systems, missiles or asymmetric attacks from terrorist groups. Saab’s lightweight, compact Giraffe 1X can be handled by one single operator.
