Saab has received a 350-million-kronor ($34-million) order from Denmark for systems that will expand training involving CV90 vehicles, drones, and beyond-line-of-sight attacks.
The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation placed the order, with deliveries scheduled to begin by the end of this year and continue through 2028.
The package includes Saab’s Instrumented Laser Duel System for the CV90, which uses lasers and onboard instrumentation to simulate combat engagements during field exercises.
The system allows crews to practice vehicle combat scenarios without using live ammunition against one another.
Additional capabilities for drone operations and non-line-of-sight engagements will expand the range of scenarios troops can rehearse, including threats that extend beyond direct exchanges between opposing units.
“Training must evolve as fast as the battlefield,” stated Joakim Alhbin, head of Saab’s business unit Training and Simulation. “By bringing capabilities such as drones and long-range precision effects into live exercises, soldiers can train as they will operate and build confidence before facing these situations for real.”
Expanding Denmark’s Combat Training Network
The latest purchase builds on a 680-million-Swedish-kronor ($63 million) Combat Training Centre order placed last year, which includes deliveries through 2027 and on-site support at four Danish locations.
That package covers soldier and vehicle training equipment, anti-tank and sniper simulators, communications systems, and software for managing exercises and reviewing troop performance.
Saab’s modular Combat Training Centre can accommodate up to 10,000 participants across an area measuring 40 by 40 kilometers (25 by 25 miles), allowing large formations to conduct coordinated field exercises.
