Defence and security company Saab has secured a long-term framework agreement with the US Army Program Executive Office of Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI). The framework agreement covers radio systems for communication (LT2-IRS) for live training with a potential total sum of approximately MSEK 260 ( MUSD 41).

The first system will be delivered in November 2011 with an additional instrumentation system delivered every eight months to seven US Army homestations worldwide. The framework agreement covers an initial one year term with options for two more years.
"The receipt of the contract showcases Saab's capability, capacity and competence in the instrumentation and communication systems field," says Lars Borgwing, President Saab Training USA.
