4 SAAB ANNUAL REPORT 2010
MARKET DIMENSIONS
MARKET DIMENSIONS
Understanding the development of, and overlap between,
the two main dimensions of security policy is essential to
understanding the opportunities, breadth and potential in
Saab’s market.
e purpose of traditional security policy is to maintain national
sovereignty by defending borders, a market Saab is well-positioned
in. e purpose of the new dimension, which stresses the vulnerabil-
ity of civil society, is to safeguard society’s essential functions by pro-
tecting critical ows and infrastructure.
e two market dimensions face dierent conditions and work in
dierent ways.
e rst market is dominated by national governments and mili-
tary organisations, while the second is dominated by cities, compa-
nies, organisations and individuals. Cities are the most ow-inten-
sive locations on the planet, and it is there that key infrastructure
points such as ports, airports, train stations, banks, computer serv-
ers, distribution centres and loading terminals are centered.
Cities cannot be allowed to become too vulnerable to disruptions
and breakdowns caused, for example, by insucient capacity and
maintenance of critical systems, natural disasters, criminality, sabo-
tage or terror. Urban security, eciency and sustainability are vital to
society’s functionality. e three operating areas unify and constitute
the lowest common denominator between the two security dimensions.
e areas of training, command and control, and maintenance
are shown as “links” between the circles in the schematic gure
below. For Saab, the links originate in a traditional border-protecting
military context, where Saab has proven its innovative capabilities.
But they are just as relevant and applicable in an urban-centered
ow-protecting context. Aeronautics and defence as well as urban
development and security t well together, and Saab’s experience
working with complex systems is a big advantage in both markets.
