Saab receives order for Unmanned Aerial System from FMV

Defence and security company Saab has received an order worth approximately MSEK
500 from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for a Tactical
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle system (TUAV).

Saab will deliver two complete TUAV systems, including the aircraft, ground
stations, intelligence units and ancillary equipment. 

The order means that Saab will assume an overall commitment for the system. This
includes operating the system over three years, as well as the training of
personnel, the provision of equipment, technical maintenance and spare parts.

Final delivery of the systems will take place in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The type of unmanned aerial vehicle will be a Shadow 200 from the AAI
Corporation.

"This order confirms the logic behind our single-minded efforts within UAV
technology. By combining a well-recognised aircraft with systems and cutting
edge technology developed for Gripen, we are able to offer our customer a highly
adapted system without the need for a host of new development. This also means
we can promise a very short delivery time, which is important for our customer
since they have a tremendous need for this system. Our strong partnership with
FMV provides a firm basis for together being able to satisfy the Swedish Armed
Forces", says Lennart Sindahl, business area manager for Aeronautics within
Saab.

Saab serves the global market with world-leading products, services and
solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. Saab has operations
and employees on all continents and constantly develops, adopts and improves new
