Saab receives order for coastal surveillance system in India

Defence and security company Saab has received an order from the Indian
Maritime Authority, DGLL (Directorate General of Lighthouses and
Lightships) for supply of a system for coastal surveillance for the
entire Indian coast. The order is worth approximately 116 MSEK.

The system that DGLL ordered comprises sensors to be installed along the
Indian coast and equipment for regional and national control centers.
Users of the system apart from DGLL will be the Indian navy, Coast Guard
and DG Shipping.

Saab will implement the project which includes installation,
commissioning, training and support together with their Indian partner,
Elcome Marine Services.

The project will start immediately and will be completed within 18
months.

Our opinion is that Saab with this strategic order, which contains
future options, will be able to develop further business in India within
the marine domain.

"Our systems for monitoring sea traffic have been installed on several
of the coasts in the world and also along inland waterways in Europe and
in China. With this order we are strengthening our position further,"
says Gunilla Fransson, head of Saab´s business area Security and Defense
Solutions.

"It is equally satisfying that we now deepen and enhance our relation
with India. This project along with the co-operations we already have
makes India an important long term market for Saab."

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 technology to meet customers' changing needs.
