Ted
Ackerstierna, head of the Saab’s naval segment in Western Europe
welcomes all visitors to the Saab stand: “Saab has a long background
in supplying naval systems, it goes back some 60 years and we would
like to bring you along with us on our naval journey. Saab has recently
acquired Kockums in Sweden and so becomes a global supplier in complete
naval systems. At the same time system integration on any platform remains
one of our core competencies. We have a strong focus on strategic partnerships
with key shipyards, and at Euronaval two of our partners that are displaying
their vessels next to the Saab stand. We will present new solutions
in the command and control area, including training concepts plus new
features in our TACTICAL communication system. We recently launched
two new radars to complement our Sea Giraffe radar family and deliver
increased situational awareness with the capability to detect and react
to increasingly sophisticated threats.
Through Kockums, Saab has gained the capability to develop and deliver
complete platform solutions, with particular emphasis on submarines.
Saab continues to be a respected supplier of integrated systems that
are fully platform-independent and tailored to a very wide range of
national needs. This capability has been thoroughly tested and proven
by navies around the world.
Saab is a source of key enabling technologies, such as radars, weapons
and air independent propulsion (AIP) systems. At the same time, Saab
can fully integrate all similar third-party equipment to meet specific
customer requirements.
Saab has a fundamental belief in the benefits of international partnership
and is already working in close cooperation with many international
ship designers and builders.
