By GlobalDataThe DND awarded the contract for the supply of multispectral nets. It included the right to exercise further options for potential additional orders that could be placed over five years.
The multispectral static camouflage systems are designed to offer protection in a static position and can be adjusted to suit any type of terrain or environment. They are lightweight and easy to handle and decrease the enemy’s ability to detect and engage.
Saab’s range of camouflage nets is available in various solutions and configurations and is used to conceal camps, vehicles and personnel.
The company has exported its advanced camouflage technology products to over 50 countries so far.
Last year, the US Army placed an approximately Skr586m ($66m) order with Saab for the delivery of both woodland and desert camouflage systems. The systems will be produced at the company’s Saab Barracuda business unit.
