“We are proud to equip Swedish ships with our cutting-edge products,” said says Mats Wicksell, head of Saab’s business area Naval. “This shows that Saab not only continues to provide capabilities with the highest relevance to our home market, but also that we achieve it through cooperations. The Swedish Navy will gain advanced and integrated capabilities to detect, deter, and respond to threats above and below the surface, while effectively countering evolving asymmetric threats across the maritime domain.”

The contract comprises equipping the FDI frigates with a Weapon Control System, Fire Control Director Ceros and EOS 500, anti-ship missile RBS15, Saab Lightweight Torpedo as well as Trackfire Remote Weapon Station, and the lightweight multi-mission surveillance radar Sea Giraffe 1X.
