This order is an important breakthrough for Saab in the Land Self-Protection Systems market since it is the launch order for its latest vehicle self-protection solution. It is especially relevant since it confirms the international market attractiveness of advanced Softkill solutions as a cost effective way to improve vehicle survivability in complex operational situations.

Existing customers using Saab Land Self-Protection solutions includes the Royal Netherlands Army that has fitted the Saab laser warning system to their CV90/35 fleet as part of an integral survivability suite.
