Saab has signed a contract with the French Ministry of Defences Direction de la Maintenance Aeronautique (DMA) regarding support for the surface based radar system Giraffe AMB.
DMA is responsible for the operational maintenance of the French Ministry of Defences aeronautics equipment. The contract, which includes support, maintenance and spare parts, covers an initial two-year period from January 2019 to January 2021, with options to extend for up to five additional years, to 2026.
Long-term support is a key part of Saabs offer and we look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with France. We are proud to support the French Armed Forces with our Giraffe AMB mobile command and control shelter, which features its own radar sensor says Anders Carp, Head of Saabs business area Surveillance.
Saab delivered the Giraffe AMB systems to France in 2006. Since then, France has used Saabs Giraffe AMB radar and command and control shelter for a range of tasks, including military air surveillance. Saab will carry out the majority of the work in Gothenburg, Sweden, with some work taking place on site in France.
