SAAB AND FMV SIGN CONTRACT FOR CONTINUED
GRIPEN SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE
31 May 2017
Defence and security company Saab has signed
a contract with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) regarding the
continued support and maintenance of Gripen C/D. The contract is valued at
approximately SEK 1.9 billion and will be in effect from June 2017 to December
2019.
The contract primarily covers design and
support, component maintenance, spare parts, the provision of logistics, and
the procurement of certain equipment. In addition, the contract also allows for
the requisition of technical system support, aircraft maintenance with
associated spare parts, and the management of obsolescence.
"This contract will ensure effective
Gripen C/D operation and availability for the coming years. Our support
solutions contribute to Gripen's low life-cycle cost and provide the Swedish
Armed Forces and other Gripen customers with the most effective means by which
to sustain their aircraft," says Torsten Öhman, Acting Head of the Support
and Services business area within Saab.
Operations will be performed at Saab's
facilities in Linköping, Arboga, Gothenburg, Järfälla, Växjö and Östersund, and
will involve four of Saab's business areas: Support and Services, Aeronautics,
Industrial Products and Services, and Surveillance.
