Saab receives order for Air Command and Control System
In February, Saab received an order from a NATO country for its air command and control system 9AIR C4I. The contract value is approximately 250 MSEK.
9AIR C4I is a highly automated C2 systems for airspace surveillance and enables armed forces to fulfil the tasks of the OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop without a large number of personnel. The centrepiece of the modular command and control system 9AIR C4I is the "Track Data Fusion Engine" (TDFE), a high-performance multi-sensor tracker and correlator. It takes plots, bearings and tracks from a variety of sources as input and uses highly developed algorithms to perform tracking and fusion, providing command and control system operators with a precise and reliable situational picture, and thus enabling a rapid response.

When analysing the signals, on the one hand movement data is analysed, on the other hand information is also compared with civilian data to determine whether it is a regular passenger aircraft or a military intruder. The system can also identify ballistic missiles and calculate a potential impact location in the short flight time. The system initiates target tracking fully automatically and displays all tracks for the operator on a clear user interface. In case of threats or anomalies, 9AIR C4I can issue automated warnings and even offer specific recommendations for action to support the operator in the decision-making process.
