Saab receives order for mobile air defence from Lithuania
Saab has received a third order for the Mobile Short Range Air Defence (MSHORAD) system from the Lithuanian Defence Materiel Agency. The order value is approximately SEK 1.4 billion with deliveries 2026-2030.
Saab will deliver a third battery of the MSHORAD to the Lithuanian Armed Forces. The system will be integrated by Saab into the JLTV 4x4 vehicles manufactured by Oshkosh.
“We are proud to continue contributing to keeping the Lithuanian skies safe. Our mobile air defence system can withstand even the most advanced countermeasures, giving the user the capability to plan for the expected and to successfully react to the unexpected,” says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab’s business area Dynamics.
MSHORAD is Saab’s vehicle-integrated mobile air defence solution, which acts as a protective shield for moving units. It consists of mobile radar and firing units based on the RBS 70 NG short-range air defense missile and the Giraffe 1X radar, all connected with a command-and-control system (GBAD C2) and datalink by a communication solution between the units. It offers quick and effective detection, identification and engagement of aerial threats.
