Saab has delivered its Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Automatic Warning and Reporting (AWR) system with mobile detection and surveillance and stationary detection units to a customer in Kuwait, the company announced on 14 September. 

The system provides for the detection, identification, warning, monitoring and reporting of CBRN hazards, giving personnel on the battlefield early warning and enabling faster decision making.

The delivered system has units for mobile detection and surveillance plus stationary detection units. It features a command and control centre that uses Saab's 9LAND BMS AWR command and control software. 

If activated by a CBRN event, an automatic hand-over is made from the stationary system to the mobile, tactical system. The mobile units include pressure-protected light vehicles where the full picture from data collected by the AWR system is displayed on Saab's rugged hardware. 

Nils Erik Lindblom, director marketing and sales at business unit land, within Saab business area support and services, said: ‘A new international customer validates that Saab's CBRN solutions are in the front-line on the market, and that we are breaking new ground. This delivery is to an international reference customer for our CBRN AWR system, with a combination of integrated mobile and stationary systems.

'It bodes well for Saab's potential to expand the business and strengthen our position in the CBRN area. There is a trend developing within the CBRN area for countries to move away from stand-alone solutions to properly integrated CBRN systems and vehicles.’
