Potential for further growth in Training & Simulation

2 min read

Training & Simulation (T&S) is a growing business, with a strong market position in Europe and a market share of 25% in the U.S. Ahead, we see an increased need for the training of larger forces on battalion and brigade level, especially in Europe. Another important aspect of this business is the aftermarket opportunities within support and services.

Key focus going forward will be to combine live training with virtual training and the utilisation of AI technology for analytics. Another key focus is on interoperability and with more than 40 customers worldwide, Saab has defined a standard for international forces to train together. 16 nations have joined the standard so far and since Saab has installed bases in many places, we can move our training capability around the world following the forces.
