Denmark orders Saab's Ceros 200 tracking system
The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has ordered the Ceros 200 tracking system from Saab.
The order, which was announced by Saab on 14 April, is valued at around $16.73 million and will see the tracking system installed on the Danish Knud Rasmussen-class patrol vessels.
The Ceros 200 is part of a fire control system and is tasked to detect, monitor and combat threats to a ship.
Saab will supply the system as well as spare parts, documentation and training for the Danish armed forces. Production and delivery of the system under the order will take place in 2016 and 2017.
Gunilla Fransson, head of security and defence solutions, Saab, said: 'Ceros 200 is based on radar and optronic technology, which makes the system very precise in all weather conditions. Ceros 200 is used on more than 200 ships around the world.'
