The newly inaugurated serial production facility is a milestone both for Saab’s expansion in Finland and the development of Sirius Compact. Increasing demand for the passive electronic warfare sensor has driven the need for serial production. Saab has expanded strongly in Finland in recent years and sees a positive trend for the coming years with increased export, not least of Sirius Compact.
“Our product-focused research and development work enables efficient production and a product-driven business model. This enables fast deliveries and performance of the latest technology for our customers, says Kristian Tornivaara, Managing Director of Saab Finland.
The new facility is already in operation and enables a high production pace, with the first serial-produced customer deliveries taking place in April 2025.
Sirius Compact is a family of modular and scalable passive sensors that provide enhanced situational awareness through detection, classification and geolocation of various emitters. The family includes Sirius Compact R-ESM for radar and datalink signals and Sirius Compact C-ESM for communication signals.
