Saab receives UK defence training orders

[Johannesburg, 31 March 2011] - Defence and security company Saab has received additional orders from the UK Ministry of Defence to enhance their existing provision of live training capabilities to the British Army abroad and in the UK. The orders amount to approximately MSEK 221 (app. MGBP 20).

“We have achieved good results in recent and current projects and have a trustful relation with the UK Army. Building upon this we have secured contracts that include the provision of additional simulators for weapons and target systems under the current Direct Fire Weapon Effects Simulator (DFWES) programme to support Mission Specific Training (MST) on Salisbury Plain Training Area. An extension to the contract also provides instrumental C-IED* training capability as part of a managed training service.” says Henrik Höjer, Managing Director Saab Training & Simulation.

In addition and in support to the UK training effort later this year, the complete Deployed Tactical Engagement Systems (D-TES) capability will be shipped from Kenya to UK and deployed to Salisbury Plain.
