Saab has announced that it has received a contract from the US Army Programme Executive Office of Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) to provide the US Army radio systems for communication for live training. The company made the announcement 3 August 2012.
The order, worth approximately 99 MSEK, includes three exercised options of the Live Training Transformation Interim Range System (LT2-IRS).
