Visit SAAB at Euronaval 2022 to discover how SAAB thinking edge drives innovation above and below the surface. On display will be one of our submarine models, the CB90 NG, the RBS15 anti-ship missile and the MuMNS – the latest addition to the Double Eagle family of mine neutralisation systems. Our other products on display include TactiCall ICS, the AUV62-AT training platform, and the Sea Giraffe 1X naval radar.

CB90 NG: 

With more than 250 boats operating worldwide, CB 90 has been a success story since the first boat was commissioned. A new model of the proven concept has been launched: CB90 Next Generation. The fast, all-aluminium CB90 Next Generation Combat Boat can effortlessly carry multiple troops and cargo, in shallow or open waters, whilst maintaining incredible speeds and manoeuvrability. The interior combined with a strong bow ramp ensures swift deployment onto unprepared beaches. The craft offers supreme CBRN and ballistic protection. A robust weapons platform can include stabilised turntables, smaller missile systems and remotely operated weapon stations such as Saab Trackfire.

RBS15 anti-ship missile:

The RBS15 can travel over 300 kilometers before engaging the enemy. The missile flies as close as possible to the surface of the sea all the way to the target. At Saab we call this sea skimming and the RBS15 is typically less than five meters above the waves. Once it arrives at the target area, it will search, find and destroy the designated target. Even the fastest of ships can’t escape the missile. The RBS15 is smart and autonomous, able to find its target and penetrate its defences even in adverse weather conditions. The system is designed to deliver operational effectiveness in highly contested and complex environments with sophisticated adversaries.

MuMNS :

Saab's MuMNS (Multi-Shot Mine Neutralisation System) offers a new generation of mine neutralisation and immunisation in a powerful, modular system based on proven Saab technology and mine countermeasures (MCM) solutions.

MuMNS offers unprecedented operational capability with greater flexibility, significantly increasing the speed of deployment and reducing the cost of MCM operations and the risk to personnel. MuMNS is launched remotely from its escort vessel and steered automatically or manually to a designated waypoint at speeds of up to 4 knots. The target is located using onboard sonar and cameras. The pilot manually controls the final approach to the target.

Sea Giraffe 1X naval radar:

The Sea Giraffe 1X is based on over 60 years of radar development by Saab and is the perfect choice for navies, amphibious forces and coastguards looking for a system with higher performance and an extremely small logistical footprint. Find here the latest news about Sea Giraffe 1X.

AUV62-AT training platform:

The AUV62-AT is operated by a growing number of navies worldwide who see the operational and cost benefits of an advanced at-sea ASW training system. The system can be used as a target for training surface, air and sub-surface ASW assets in any combination and can be programmed to deliver all levels of training from basic to advanced. The complexity of training is set by the trainer thereby allowing the trainer to manage training development of the ASW teams.

Exercise scenarios can be constructed using the mission planning system and tailored to meet the specific requirements of the teams under training. Missions are downloaded to the vehicle prior to exercise start. The target uses a transducer tail to mimic the acoustic profile of a submarine, these profiles can be varied in complexity and submarine type again tailoring the training to meet the training requirement.

The target delivers both active and passive signatures delivering end to end ASW training from initial detection, through tracking to engagement and allows ASW torpedo firings to be conducted.

Possibly the most valuable feature of the system is the post exercise analysis that it performs on completion of the training. This is able to determine how the exercise was conducted and can be used to debrief the ASW teams receiving the training.
