Saab Systems has received an order worth MSEK 140 from Land Systems Hagglunds AB for the UTAAS Fire Control System for the Danish Army`s CV9035 Combat Vehicles.

"Our excellent cooperation with Land Systems Hagglunds AB has once again been successful, and this order consolidates Saab Systems` position as a leading supplier of fire director and fire control systems for tanks and combat vehicles," says Dan-Åke Enstedt, President of the Saab Systems business unit. UTAAS (Universal Tank and Anti Aircraft System) is a modular fire director and fire control system for tanks and combat vehicles.

The system offers direct fire capability, which means that the gunner can take aim independently of the vehicle`s movements while the fire control system automatically aligns the gun. Saab has over 50 years` experience of developing and manufacturing advanced optical sights, working with the very latest night vision technology. A total of over 1,000 systems have been sold for the CV90 to Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Finland, the Netherlands and Denmark. Saab is one of the world`s leading high-technology companies, with its main operations focusing on defense, aviation and space.

The Group covers a broad spectrum of competence and capability in systems integration.
