Saab's excellence in product innovation and laser focus on customer satisfaction will continue to serve them well as they expand globally, and we are very pleased to work more closely with Saab," said Edward Durkin, President and CEO of TCG.
"With extensive experience in competing tactical data link solutions over many years, and having enjoyed real market success with TCG's LinkPRO solution working with Saab's Air C4I systems in many countries throughout Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East, we have now made the decision to work even more closely with TCG. We plan on providing expanded C2 and Situational Awareness solutions for our global military customers across multiple market segments, and look forward to continued success with TCG," said Martin Vobora, Senior Director, Marketing and Sales, C4I Solutions, Saab Security and Defence Solutions.
