Saab bags datalink order
Saab has won an order worth $14.54 million for datalink systems from an unnamed customer, the company announced on 12 June. The order was placed with Saab's Electronic Defence Systems in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Saab will deliver the systems in 2015-2018. Its datalinks enable different electronic systems to connect and form a common integrated setup for air, surface and land. If required, the datalinks can also enable weapons coordination.
The company's range of datalink systems operate in and above the Very High Frequency bands. Its customised solutions for airborne and ground-based systems include integrated datalinks for lightweight and radar terminals.
Micael Johansson, head, Saab Electronic Defence Systems, said: 'Saab has delivered robust datalink solutions for more than 25 years and offers datalinks in a wide range of applications. This order further establishes us as a market leading datalink solutions provider.'
