Saab in collaboration with DSTA to supply composite superstructures
Saab has signed a contract with Defence Science & Technology Agency (DSTA) to supply six composite superstructures for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN)’s Multi-Role Combat Vessel (MRCV).
The contract includes the detailed design, production, and final assembly, of the composite superstructures for the MRCVs.
The low weight of the composite superstructure reduces the centre of gravity, thereby enhancing the stability of the MRCV. Having been responsible for the basic design of the MRCVs, Saab would continue to work in close collaboration with DSTA, RSN, partners, and the shipbuilder to deliver the MRCVs to the RSN beginning from 2028.
