Saab has signed a contract with the German naval defence company TKMS and received an order to deliver and integrate combat systems, composite structures and sensors onto four of the German Navy's new MEKO A-200 DEU class frigates. The order value is approximately SEK 8.7 billion and Saab's deliveries to TKMS will take place between 2029 and 2032.
The frigates will be produced in Germany with TKMS as the prime contractor. The contract also includes an option for integrating and equipping additional frigates.
"It is with great pride that we continue to build on our long and strong relationship and commitment to Germany and the Bundeswehr, while together with TKMS strengthening the German Navy. These deliveries will significantly enhance the Navy's anti-air-, anti-submarine- and anti-surface warfare capabilities," says Micael Johansson, CEO and President of Saab.
The order comprises equipping the frigates with composite superstructures, 9LV Combat Systems including the Fire Control System and Combat Management System, sensors such as the long-range surveillance radar Sea Giraffe 4A Fixed Face, the lightweight multi-mission surveillance radar Sea Giraffe 1X, as well as passive sensors.
