Saab has secured a new contract from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration to supply sensors and command-and-control components for a short-range ground-based air defense system for Swedish brigades. The deal, valued at around SEK 2.1 billion (approx. $199 million), covers deliveries scheduled for 2027 and 2028.
The agreement expands on earlier Swedish investments in Saab air-defense technology. It includes the LSS Lv command-and-control system and the Giraffe 1X radar, along with weapon-system integration work, studies and spare parts. According to Saab, these elements will support a mobile short-range air-defense capability for brigade units.
The contract also calls for an integration study examining how the Giraffe AMB radar could be incorporated to provide medium-range surveillance alongside the new system.
In a statement, Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s Surveillance business area, said:
“We are very proud to contribute to a strengthened ground-based air defense capability for the Swedish brigades. The contract gives an increased capability to control the battle, but also to detect and engage airborne threats through world-class command-and-control and sensor systems.”
The LSS Lv system, which is part of the package, is designed to help operators manage engagements, distribute target data and conduct planning and post-mission analysis.
