Saab wins an order worth 105 million AUD for Australian Navy

Saab Systems signed a contract worth 105 million AUD (87 million USD) with Tenix
Marine to design and develop the Combat Management System for Australia's new
Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) amphibious class of ships.

Saab and Tenix have agreed on a contract that will see Saab responsible for
design, development and integration of the new ships' Combat Management System. 
Saab will supply the next generation 9LV Combat Management System based upon
open
architecture and the naval surveillance radar Sea Giraffe AMB. Special features
of the 
system will include helicopter control, watercraft control and close in self
defence against
military and asymmetric threats.

 “We are highly committed to the Australian Defence Force and pleased to be a
part of this project to boost Australia's amphibious capabilities. Saab is
ideally placed to provide the LHD combat system because it has existing skills,
experience and infrastructure built up over its 17 years of supporting naval
combat systems in Australia”, says Merv Davis, Managing Director of Saab Systems
Pty Ldt. 

“The selection of our system once again confirms Saab's leadership in naval
combat systems in Australia”, says Peter Wimmerström, President Saab Systems.
