Saab receives Swedish artillery locating radar order

Saab has signed a contract and received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for a number of Saab's artillery locating radar Arthur systems, including support for the Swedish Armed Forces. The order value amounts to approximately SEK 1.1 billion, with delivery in 2027. The order is for the latest version of Arthur, which can warn of incoming indirect fire at a distance of up to 100 km. Saab is also responsible for vehicle integration of the radar systems. Arthur is a digitalized system that can simultaneously track numerous projectiles and calculate their point of origin. The contract also includes options for additional systems and support over 15 years for Sweden. "This order enables a clear increase in capacity and strengthens the Swedish brigades' ability to warn against and support the countering of enemy artillery. The systems provide the mobile artillery locating capability required for today's complex battlefield, with innovation and cutting-edge capabilities," says Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab's Surveillance business area, in a press release
