Sweden : Saab Signs Contract to provide Belgium with a Combat Training Centre
Publish Date : 27-Aug-2019
Saab has signed a supply contract with the Belgian MoD for the deliveries of training systems to the Belgian Army. The order value is approximately SEK 160 million and deliveries will take place in 2021.
The contract includes providing a complete training centre with infantry simulators, anti-tank simulators, vehicle systems and communication systems for controlling, monitoring and collecting training data to enable detailed analysis of exercises. The support contract will be negotiated separately later on.
One of the requirements was interoperability with NATO, and with Saabs training system Belgium will be capable of participating in multinational exercises.
This means Belgium will share the same standards as members in the Interoperability User Community (IUC). They can therefore take part in multinational exercises together with, among others, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK and the US 7thArmy, says sa Thegstrm, head of the business unit Training & Simulation within Saabs business area Dynamics.
The Belgian Army has used our training systems for the last four years and have clearly seen the benefits of realistic training. This order strengthens our position as one of the worlds leading suppliers of solutions for combat training, says Henrik Vassallo, head of the country unit France & Benelux within Saabs market area Europe.
The business unit Training & Simulation develops, manufactures and markets advanced military training equipment, such as laser simulator systems, instrumented training systems and target equipment. It also provides service and maintenance for delivered systems.
