The Norwegian armed forces have awarded a $16.8488 million contract to Saab for the supply of training and simulation systems and support for its combat training centre, the company announced on 1 October. 

The deliveries under the contract - which is a continuation of the existing service contract - are scheduled from 2016 to 2020.

The Norwegian Combat Training Centre provides complete battalion-level training system for vehicles, soldiers, and anti-tank weapons, along with an exercise control system.

Under the contract Saab will perform upgrades for the training facility, and will supply a new generation sight simulator unit for vehicles to give a more realistic training experience. The Norwegian Army is the company’s first customer to receive this system.
