Saab Secures About SEK 1.2 Billion FMV Order for Brigade-Level Air‑Defence Sensors and C2
The contract will pair Giraffe AMB radars with LSS Lv command systems to give Swedish Army brigades an organic short-to-medium range air picture and faster response times.
Overview
- Saab confirmed it received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration for sensors and command-and-control systems to equip army brigades under a ground-based air‑defence solution.
- The contract is valued at roughly SEK 1.2 billion and foresees deliveries scheduled in 2029–2030.
- The package centers on Saab’s Giraffe AMB surveillance radar and the LSS Lv command system, which together provide brigade units with tracking, threat identification, and tasking of intercepts without relying on higher-level headquarters.
- Saab says the systems build on previous deliveries to FMV and are intended to improve detection and countering of advanced aerial threats such as cruise missiles, ballistic threats, and fixed-wing aircraft.
- The order complements recent Swedish efforts to create a layered GBAD architecture since joining NATO, following earlier procurements such as the GUTE II counter-drone package that addresses lower-tier drone threats.
