LINKOPING, Sweden, Oct. 20, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Saab Barracuda LLC was awarded two delivery orders totaling U.S.$65 Million for Ultra Lightweight Camouflage Net System (ULCANS) from the U.S. Defense.
"These two delivery orders increased our leading position within Signature Management which gives our employees a sense of security in planning their future and allows our suppliers to forecast demand and be in a better position to provide us with materials used in our production," says Dottie Womack, Acting President of Saab Barracuda LLC.
