Saab signs airborne surveillance system support contract
Saab has announced that it has signed a support contract with an unnamed customer for a previously delivered Saab 2000 Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) system. The agreement covers the 2013-2017 period and is valued at MSEK 1,100.

This contract is a result of our close cooperation with our customer and can be seen as a further confirmation of our strong capability to provide our customers with advanced service and support solutions.’
No further details on the contract have been released.
