Saab signs support and development agreement with FMV for Gripen

Saab has received four orders from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration,
FMV, for Gripen development, support and maintenance through 2016. The orders
entails an initial order of SEK 3,6 billion plus options for additional orders
amounting to a maximum of SEK 2 billion until December 2016.
The agreement includes several parts: A performance-based support and
maintenance solution, performance-based logistics as well associated ground
resources for upkeep. Also included is an addition to Gripen development package
(MS20) as well as studies and definition activities for further Gripen
development.

"Gripen has already proven its growth potential by carrying out different
mission task that it was not initially intended for, like last summers operation
Unified Protector in Libya," says Lennart Sindahl, head of Saab's business area
Aeronautics. "It is therefore important for the future that we can continue to
add new capabilities by request from FMV to a flight system that has already
proven to be of world class today."

Performance-based logistics entails that Saab provides guaranteed service times
for systems and subsystems that are included in Gripen. Activities included in
the contract are for example, supplying the Swedish Armed Forces with spare
parts, maintenance of aircraft systems, technical engineering support, technical
publications and logistics solutions for operation of the Gripen system in
Sweden, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Thailand. Saab has previously had
several different support agreements for Gripen, all of which are now replaced
by this long-term contract.

“This long-term contract enables Saab to conduct support operations in a more
effective manner, compared to previous agreements," says Lars-Erik Wige, head of
Saab's Support and Services business area. "Efficiency and availability are key
words."

The orders that are placed under the options included in the agreement will be
placed once a year. The options encompass support and maintenance operations
that are decisive to running aviation operations with Gripen, such as technical
publications and repairs.

The work will mainly take place at Saab's facilities in Linköping, Arboga,
Järfälla and Gothenburg, Sweden.
