Current opportunities
The Australian defence and security landscape is dynamic as State and Federal Governments ensure the nation’s capability, now and into the future. Below are some of the key projects where Saab has opportunity to provide world-leading capability, right here in-country.
Collins Life-of-type extension
The Australian Government is investing $6 billion in refitting all six of the nation’s Collins Class Submarines under a life-of-type extension (LOTE) program. As the designer of the submarine and supplier of its highly reliable Integrated Ship Control, Management and Monitoring System, Saab is well placed to help in this work.
Naval Combat Systems
Saab Australia’s 9LV CMS has been the Royal Australian Navy’s combat system of choice for over three decades. 9LV is the core of the combat capability on board the current ANZAC Class frigates and Canberra Class Landing Helicopter Docks and will enter into service with the replacement replenishment ships.
Deployable Health
Saab has signed a contract with the Australian Department of Defence to deliver deployable health modules for the Australian Government’s Deployable Health Capability Program, Joint Project 2060. The order value is AUD 337 million for the years 2020-2027, including five years of support.
Deployable Infrastructure
The Australian Government is investing AUD 500 million through the Deployable Force Infrastructure Project (LAND 8140), with the first AUD 150 million focusing on modernising deployable sanitation, catering, water management and treatment, shelters, and power generation. Partners are being sought within the local defence industry.
Integrated Security Systems
Saab has signed a contract with the Sydney Opera House Trust to deliver a new integrated security system for the iconic building. The upgrade will be built around the Saab OneViewTM Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system, developed in Australia.
ICN Gateway
Saab Australia utilises the ICN Gateway to solicit information on suppliers and their products for specific projects or prospects. Companies interested in the defence and security domains should register on the ICN Gateway and monitor for current and future opportunities.
