Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration for a mobile and modular counter-unmanned aerial system. The system is designed to protect the Swedish Armed Forces as well as civil infrastructure from threats posed by drones. The order value is approximately SEK 2.6 billion, and deliveries will take place in 2027-2028.
In partnership with the Swedish Armed Forces and FMV, Saab is developing and deploying an advanced C-UAS system that offers proven, adaptable, and cost-efficient layered defense against modern drone threats. The system will strengthen and complement Sweden’s current air defense and drone defense posture.
“With today’s order, Sweden will acquire an advanced mobile, modular counter-unmanned aerial system. This technology enhances airspace security by detecting, tracking, and mitigating unmanned aerial threats, and can be easily integrated with other systems,” said Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.
Saab’s C-UAS is a modular, mobile platform designed to detect and neutralize low-flying small- to medium-sized drones. It integrates field-proven Saab sensors and effectors, as well as selected third-party technologies, into a single interoperable solution that seamlessly connects with existing defense assets. Built on established components, the system is fully operational and ready for deployment.
