Saab’s Giraffe radar family
Situational awareness and efficient coordination of resources is key for a successful Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD) and air surveillance. With its Giraffe radar family, Saab delivers software based leading-edge sensor solutions that create time to act.
The radar sensors provide air surveillance with simultaneous multi-functionality and all target capability with a large volume coverage and high update rate that allows for immediate and effective response. Including the Drone Tracker (enhanced low, small and slow target functionality) Giraffe radars can detect even the smallest drones and distinguish them from birds.

Sea Giraffe - the naval version of the radar family
They are dimensioned to meet all operational requirements from small to large naval vessels. The compact design, in combination with state-of- the-art radar technology, makes them ideal for naval application where space is limited but demand on performance is high. The Sea Giraffe radars can also be combined to assure optimised capability for any kind of threat.
The Sea Giraffe family is for example aboard six classes of U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships, the Swedish Visby class corvettes, and is part of the upgrade of the Canadian Halifax class frigates, Finland’s new Pohjanmaa class corvettes and Brandenburg class frigates F123 in Germany.
