Saab signs Norway T&S contract
The Norwegian armed forces have awarded a $16.8488 million contract to Saab for the supply of training and simulation systems and support for its combat training centre, the company announced on 1 October.
The deliveries under the contract - which is a continuation of the existing service contract - are scheduled from 2016 to 2020.
The Norwegian Combat Training Centre provides complete battalion-level training system for vehicles, soldiers, and anti-tank weapons, along with an exercise control system.
Under the contract Saab will perform upgrades for the training facility, and will supply a new generation sight simulator unit for vehicles to give a more realistic training experience. The Norwegian Army is the company’s first customer to receive this system.
Brigadier Nermo, head, Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation (NDLO) land systems division, said: ‘NDLO is pleased to continue the good cooperation we have had with Saab for several years. This ensures access to advanced training for the Norwegian Army.’
Dag Wikören, head of marketing and sales in Norway, Saab, added: ‘We are very happy to continue our long and close cooperation with the Norwegian Army. Together we will expand and improve the current training capabilities at the Norwegian Combat Training Centre.’
