The order includes the latest version of Saabs artillery locating radar system Arthur, with capability to warn for incoming indirect fire from a distance of up to 100 km. Saab will also perform vehicle integration of the radar systems.
The agreement with FMV includes options on additional systems and support over 15 years for Sweden. The agreement is procured with possibilities for cooperative nations to join.
“This order enables a clear capacity increase and strengthens the Swedish brigade’s capability to warn for incoming indirect fire as well as enabling quick counter-fire. The systems offer the mobile artillery localisation needed for today’s complex battlefields with innovation and cutting-edge capabilities,” says Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.
The artillery locating radar Arthur is a modern, digitalised system which simultaneously can track a large number of grenades and calculate points of origin, while also protecting troops and civilians by warning of incoming fire.
