Saab AB said on Tuesday that it has secured an order worth around 1.2 billion Swedish kronor ($129 million) from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for sensors and command-and-control systems for a ground-based air defence system for the Swedish Army.

The Swedish aerospace and defence company said deliveries under the contract are scheduled to take place between 2029 and 2030.

The company said the order builds on previous deliveries to FMV and is aimed at strengthening Sweden's ground-based air defence capability.

The systems are expected to enhance the military's ability to detect and respond to advanced aerial threats.
