Saab Stories

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.

An Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) system makes it possible to discover things sooner, which gives more time to act and prevent damage before it happens.  And it’s not just about military applications, there are countless others. Did you know about these four?

Gripen is a unique fighter system, bringing a perfect balance between performance and cost-efficiency. Throughout design and construction, Saab has ensured that Gripen is easy to service and repair, making it possible to offer moderate operational and maintenance costs that no other aircraft comes close to matching. The story of Gripen’s smart support solution dates back more than 80 years.

With tanks playing an increasingly decisive role in complex battle environments, defending forces need an effective anti-tank weapon. Saab’s NLAW system has the portability and fire power needed to stop tanks in their tracks.

Radar needs to constantly evolve to address new challenges that arise. Here we take a look at how modern radar deals with three tricky problems: stealth, birds, and jammed environments.

In today’s battlefield, it has become more prevalent than ever for a soldier to stay connected, up-to-date and to have complete situational awareness. When facing complex tasks in hostile environments, this can be a matter of life and death. The solution is a lightweight, rugged and easy to operate handheld unit, always connected to the battle management system. With such unit, a soldier can stay connected at all times and with full situational awareness right at the fingertips.

The global political situation is in flux. After many years of stability, European nations are concerned about a threat from the east and looking to substantially increase their defences at home.
