Saab receives order for weapon-locating system

Defence and security company Saab has received an order for weapon
locating system ARTHUR. The order amount is MSEK 200.

“We are delighted to have received this important order and it further
proves Saab's position as one of the world's premier suppliers of
solutions for surveillance, threat detection and location, and force
protection”, says Micael Johansson, Senior Vice President and Head of
Saab's business area Electronic Defence Systems.

ARTHUR is a stand alone C-band medium-range weapon-locating system that
detects and locates enemy fire. It utilises a passive phased-array
antenna technology for optimised battlefield performance. The technology
provides the perfect balance between mobility, range, accuracy, ECCM
(Electronic counter-countermeasures), operational availability and
operational cost.
The ARTHUR system is widely used by demanding customers around the
world. Examples of customers are Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece,
Norway, Spain, Sweden and UK. More than 60 ARTHUR units have been sold
and their availability is well proven from thousands of hours'
operation.

The system is developed and manufactured by Saab in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The industry's nature is such that depending on circumstances concerning
the product and customer, further information regarding the order will
not be announced.

The order was received on December 31, 2010 and it will subsequently be
booked in the fourth quarter of 2010.

solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. Saab has
