DefExpo is the perfect place to demonstrate SAAB’s products and capabilities to key customers in India and around the globe.

SAAB Defence Technology Capabilities

From the Gripen multi-role fighter to advanced missile systems and ground combat weapons, SAAB develops and delivers the full spectrum of capabilities needed to deliver national defence and security. All members of the media are welcome to join us for an update on some of SAAB’s many solutions for India with a special emphasis on air-power and firepower.

SAAB products and systems on display at Defexpo 2018 include:

Gripen E and weapon systems. Gripen combines exceptional operational performance, highly advanced net-centric warfare, sensor fusion, unique BVR capability and cost efficiency with true transfer of technology and comprehensive industrial partnership. Also on display is the Gripen Cockpit Simulator showing Gripen’s revolutionary wide-angle display in India for the first time.

Air Defence Systems. SAAB’s RBS 70 NG VSHORAD system has been developed for the most demanding air defence combat situations. Its integrated sighting solution, enhanced missile operator aids and unjammable laser guidance combine to produce a system with world-leading capabilities. The BAMSE SRSAM system is an all-weather operational automatic command-to-line-of-sight missile system with unjammable missile guidance.

Ground Combat Systems including the Carl Gustaf M4, a man-portable multi-role weapon system that provides high tactical flexibility through its wide range of ammunition types. It is extremely light (less than 7 kg), and has an intelligent sight, improved ergonomics and reduced action time.

Naval Missile Systems including the RBS 15 Mk3, the most modern surface-to surface missile system available. It is designed to operate in a diverse range of scenarios, from anti-ship engagement in blue waters and littorals to land attack missions.

A26, the world’s most modern submarine program by SAAB. It offers silent, long-endurance submerged performance and excellent manoeuvrability in all waters for a lethal super stealth performance. Now in production, the modular A26 design offers a superb platform for local optimisation by new customers.

The multi-role, swing-role Globaleye advanced AEW&C system which automatically detects and tracks air and surface targets over a huge area, and can track very low-observable air and sea targets, including ‘stealthy’ aircraft, cruise missiles or submarine periscopes, even in heavy clutter and jamming environments.

Taurus KEPD, the platform independent long-range precision attack missile that delivers an unparalleled combination of performance parameters: long range and intelligent flight behaviour, a devastating combination of warhead and fuze technology, plus an extremely accurate and highly redundant guidance system for pin-point attacks.

Signature Management Systems. SAAB’s portfolio includes Mobile Camouflage System, a tailor-made, multi-purpose system that enhances survivability and sustainability, and SOTACS, the Special Operations Tactical Suit with a camouflage system that allows stealthy operations in hostile environments.

AUV-62 MR Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, the modern choice for mine countermeasures (MCM) that can perform surveillance and reconnaissance of the underwater area immediately after deployment.

Next-Generation Radar systems, including the Giraffe AMB Radar and SAAB’s specialist range of Electronic Warfare Systems.
