Saab has received an additional order of anti-tank weapon to Finland

Saab has received an order from the Finnish Defence Forces for an additional
number of the new anti-tank weapon NLAW. The order is valued to approximately
200 MSEK.

Finland ordered the anti-tank weapon system NLAW last year and became the first
export customer for the short range anti-tank weapon. They have now ordered an
additional number of the system which will be delivered to Finland during 2009. 

”We are proud that the Finnish Defence Forces have chosen to further enhance its
anti-armour capability with this additional NLAW order,” says Tomas Samuelsson,
Business Unit Manager, Saab Bofors Dynamics. 

NLAW, Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapon is originally developed for Sweden
and Great Britain. The system meets the requirements for a modern anti-tank
weapon system in international operations within an urban environment. It's
developed by Saab Bofors Dynamics, Sweden, and final assembly is carried out by
Thales Air Defence Ltd. in Northern Ireland.  

Saab serves the global market with world-leading products, services and
solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. Saab has operations
and employees on all continents and constantly develops, adopts and improves new
