Saab Stories

The first serial produced Swedish Gripen E aircraft has now entered the joint verification and validation programme. To mark this important step in the programme Saab showed the aircraft to the Swedish Defence Minister, representatives from The Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV) and Swedish Armed Forces.

Saab was awarded, not one but two awards, during the annual Ignite Sweden Day Conference in Stockholm for our successful collaboration with start-up company Attractive Interactive.

Saab is revolutionising military live training with new indirect fire solutions where traditional live is blended with traditional virtual training. At I/ITSEC 2019, visitors will get to experience Saab’s new training solutions.

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).
