Defence and security company Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence
Material Administration for upgrade and further development of the
reconnaissance system in Gripen. The order is worth approximately MSEK 400,

looking forward to working with the Swedish Defence Material Administration and
the Swedish Armed Forces to further improve Gripen's reconnaissance
capabilities," says Micael Johansson, head of Saab's Electronic Defence Systems
business area.

The order primarily concerns Saab's operations in Stockholm and Linköping.
