SAAB’S CORE COMPETENCE
SYSTEMS EXPERTISE
IS OUR CORE BUSINESS
We address the global market and meet traditional defence needs as well as the needs of the growing market for civil
security. Our core offering consists of systems know-how in products and systems to safeguard national borders as
well as the functional and security needs of the global flow society.
OUR VIEW OF THE MARKET
Our customers increasingly want integrated solutions that
meet local requirements. ese solutions are evaluated based
on performance as well as the cost to own and operate. De-
mand is increasing for proven systems that oer “more bang
for the buck” and can be combined with other systems.
OUR CORE COMPETENCE
Our core competence is systems engineer-
ing, i.e., understanding and being able to
integrate complex systems: our own and
others’. At the same time we have developed
world-leading technologies in a number of
important areas and today work with open
systems as far as possible.
OUR MARKET POSITION
Our strongest position and good growth
opportunities are in ghter aircra, com-
mand and control systems, radar, reconnais-
sance and surveillance systems, including
Airborne Early Warning (AEW) systems,
tactical weapon and missile systems, and
Command, Control, Computing Intel-
ligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(C4ISR) systems.
We also have a strong niche position in
commercial aviation and in selected regions
in civil security, support and services, train-
ing and underwater systems, as well as in
niche segments such as signals intelligence
and countermeasure systems. Geographi-
cally we have a strong position in Sweden
and good positions in South Africa and
Australia.
