Saab AESA Fighter Radar: Saab’s GaN-based (Gallium Nitride) next-generation radars are on contract and in production for a variety of users. Our new AESA fighter radar is one more example of this leap-ahead technology that is a truly unique achievement and a defining component of future air power capabilities.

The multi-role GlobalEye AEW&C aircraft with the Erieye-ER radar automatically detects and tracks air and surface targets over a huge area, and can reliably track very low-observable air and sea targets, including ‘stealthy’ aircraft, cruise missiles or submarine periscopes, even in heavy clutter and jamming environments.

Saab’s Giraffe 1X is a multi-purpose, lightweight 3D AESA radar system solution in the X-band with the best performance in its class. Giraffe 1X is characterised by its low weight and small physical footprint allowing for integration on almost any vehicle without affecting mobility and agility.·

Ground Combat Systems including the Carl Gustaf M4, a manportable multi-role weapon system that provides high tactical flexibility through a wide range of ammunition types. It is extremely light (less than 7 kg), and has an intelligent sight, improved ergonomics and reduced action time. Meanwhile, the disposable AT4system is enhanced to deliver extended range (ER) performance and improved high explosive (HE) effects.

Signature Management Systems: Saab’s portfolio includes the Barracuda Mobile Camouflage System a tailor-made, multi-spectral (visual, near IR, short wave IR, thermal IR and radar from 1 GHz to 100 GHz), multi-purpose system for mobile fighting platforms that enhances survivability and sustainability in the battlefield. We also have various multi-spectral camouflage nets (MSCN) including the advanced reversible camouflage screen (ARCAS) and C-90 Net, designed to protect all kinds of vehicles and other static military equipment.

Digital Tower Management Solutions: Remote Tower solutions provide a smarter approach to air traffic control by digitising and integrating airport functions. Whether the airport is an international hub, a small regional airport or a brand new facility, we offer effective solutions that improve safety and operational efficiency.
