Saab Thailand

Thailand operates Gripen fighters and Erieye airborne surveillance systems, all connected through a secure high-speed datalink network that gives Thai command authorities full situational awareness across the entire nation. This netcentric warfare capability is one of very few complete systems actually operational anywhere in the world.

Saab has been active in Thailand since the mid-1980s and other key capabilities supported by Saab include radars and air defence on land and at sea, ground combat systems, naval combat management systems along with training and simulation for the armed forces.

“Saab’s presence at every level across the Royal Thai Armed Forces is great testament to our ability to supply and support highly advanced systems to demanding customers all around the globe. Our strong partnerships with Thai industry show that there is great potential here to enhance and upgrade these systems and to develop new solutions together that meet the needs of the Thai people.”

Fredrik Lindblom, Head of Saab Thailand

Saab’s world-leading position in civil air traffic management is reflected in Thailand where Saab solutions are in operation at the country’s four largest airports. Through a strong tradition of working with local partners Saab has already transferred important advanced technology and know-how into Thailand. Current and future partnerships will build on that solid track record to develop new solutions for civil security and air traffic management, among others. Saab support’s Thailand’s ambition to develop new sectors of national industry and to further secure prosperity and independence through enhanced local capabilities.

Why countries like Thailand also need ground-based air defence

The geopolitical situation across Europe, the Middle East and Asia is currently more tense and fragile than it has been in years. In such an increasingly unstable environment, it is essential for countries like Thailand to maintain a robust and flexible ground-based air defence system. In particular, effective airspace surveillance and ground-based defence capabilities are crucial for national security, especially as threats from both manned and - more notably - unmanned aerial vehicles have risen significantly in recent years.

The battlefield of tomorrow

The final lessons from the Ukraine war have yet to be learned, but the first trends are already apparent that will significantly affect future armament decisions. The current conflict once again confirms the importance of logistics, it provides deep insights into the condition of Russian troops and it shows the enormous importance of well-equipped infantry troops – especially the longer the war lasts.

Training Interoperability

Joint training of allied nations is a key topic among all NATO members. It is about the reemergence of conventional warfare as opposed to counterinsurgency and peacekeeping operations, which have been in trend for the last two decades. In order to ensure effective training - often together with international allies - and to be prepared for this threat as well as to be able to change roles flexibly and quickly, increasing importance is attached to interoperability training at brigade level and beyond.

Silent guardians: portable passive sensors close tactical gap in electronic warfare

The increasing use of electronic warfare and the massive investment in technology has led to more and more near-peer conflicts where enemies are fighting with the same types of weapons. As a result, information and data are becoming more important in tactical warfare. Obtaining this data at an early stage without the knowledge of the enemy is a fine art and a skill that will play a key role in deciding the outcome of future warfare.

Gripen C

Gripen C-series is the most reliable swing-role combat aircraft available in the world today. Over 150 million people in five countries on three continents rely on Gripen C-series to protect their sovereign air space and ensuring their independence. With successful participation in NATO-led as well as numerous exercises and air policing assignments across the world, Gripen C-series is ready for any mission. Anywhere.

Automated C2 system 9AIR C4I

The command and control systems must have the ability to analyse and combine the multitude of incoming signals, detect deviations from the norm and make recommendations for action in order to support the operator in his extremely complex mission. The 9AIR C4I enables flexible, effective operations and complete control of weapons, sensors and communications. It is scalable and flexible, providing control for missions and operations. It provides the situational awareness and communications that operators need to make the right decisions and to act on them swiftly and effectively.

Maximum situational awareness

C2 systems are used in all domains and so the 9AIR C4I is not only suitable for air surveillance. Armed forces in the navy and on the ground already rely on Saab solutions. Anyhow a true common situational picture across all domains has hardly been utilised to date. The security of the command and control system must also be ensured. In an environment where cyber-attacks are almost commonplace, sensitive data needs special protection. Saab offers its customers ongoing support and provides them with regular updates. In addition to the continuous development of the basic software, upgrades and new software releases are also made available. Individual customer requirements also contribute to the optimisation and expansion of the capabilities of the 9AIR C4I, which ultimately benefits all users.

Naval Combat Systems

Saab's 9LV offers complete C4I for every type of naval platform, ranging from combat and patrol boats, frigates and large through-deck ships to submarines and vessels for anti-piracy, security and surveillance. Designed to excel in combat, 9LV provides outstanding operational capabilities and supports all mission types. 

9LV Combat System

The 9LV Combat System (CS) provides naval forces with outstanding operational capabilities, supporting all mission types from littorals to the open ocean. As a complete C4I solution, it is tailored to every type of naval platform, including patrol vessels, frigates, larger vessels, and submarines. 

The 9LV Combat Management System (CMS) ensures optimal command and control, empowering naval platforms and maritime missions with precision and effectiveness.  A high-performance combat management system is crucial for a navy to fight and win at sea. The core of the warship's fighting capability, the CMS integrates sensor data and provides the war leader with situational awareness, faster reaction time and a responsive power. The technology must be flexible and adaptable so new technologies can be integrated to mitigate evolving threats from today's environment. The 9LV CMS architecture and design allow the ship’s local area network and associated hardware, software and services to extend to all computer equipment on board. This reduces cost and waste, as system capabilities can be shared between subsystems.

9LV CS provides complete C4I capabilities for any naval platform.

9LV CMS ensures unfailing readiness and delivers striking performance to empower naval platforms and maritime missions.

9LV FCS provides rapid, reliable engagement against any target in any environment.

9LV Fire Control System

The high performance 9LV Fire Control System (FCS) provides rapid, reliable engagement against any target in any environment, ranging from asymmetric surface threats to advanced sea-skimming missiles. The 9LV FCS can be provided as an integral part of the 9LV CMS or as a stand-alone fire control solution to be integrated with a third-party CMS. The FCS is based on a modular and open architecture that makes the addition of third party systems efficient and reliable, and enables easy integration of 9LV FCS into any naval vessel. It will suit any new-build or midlife upgrade. The ability to deal with the demands of multiple incoming targets and tight time constraints sets the 9LV FCS apart from the competition. 9LV FCS is a proven solution suitable for all platforms, including patrol vessels, frigates and larger ships.

The flexibility of the 9LV system makes it possible for you to pick and choose the exact configuration best suited to the vessel. Saab has also created pre-packaged configurations for your convenience. However, these are not stovepipe solutions, and Saab will customise the system to the respective requirements.
