35 Years in Australia

Saab Australia is a defence, security and technology provider for customers across the globe. Our mission is to keep people and society safe. We achieve this through our unparalleled solutions, driven by our leading research and development in collaboration with industry and academia.

So, how did we get here?

Our story starts in 1988, with just four Swedes who came to Australia on a technology transfer project that has now grown into the combat management system across the Royal Australian Navy's surface fleet.
