Saab invests in Comand AI to strengthen European defence sector
Saab has announced a strategic investment of 11.1 MEUR for a 10% equity stake in Paris-based battlefield AI company, Comand AI.
The investment brings Comand AI’s AI-native planning solutions and technical expertise into Saab’s research and development ecosystem, supporting the continued evolution of Saab’s command and control (C2) and C5ISR* capabilities, including systems such as GlobalEye and ongoing initiatives for multi-domain C2.

“C5ISR systems are central to modern multi-domain operations, and advanced AI is an important enabler for future capability. By partnering with Comand AI, we are strengthening the development of Saab’s C2 and C5ISR capabilities while bringing Swedish defence expertise and French AI innovation together. This collaboration also underlines the value of European cooperation in support of long-term security,” said Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.
The initiative also strengthens Saab’s co-operation with French industry, promoting a deeper integration within the French innovative technology sector. This move aligns with a broader commitment to enhancing European sovereignty, contributing to a more resilient and adaptable European defence industry capable of developing high-performance capabilities.
The agreement, pending approval from regulatory authorities, underscores Saab’s strategy of combining internal development with targeted external expertise to deliver sovereign and scalable solutions for its global customers.
