U.S. Surveillance business – a blueprint for the Saab multi-domestic strategy
The core of Saab’s multi-domestic strategy is to establish our operations in strategic countries. A successful example of this is the business area Surveillance’s establishment in the U.S. within the radar area but also electronic warfare, combat management systems and air traffic management. Through transferring technologies from Sweden, leveraging the competence and capabilities in the American organisation, Saab’s products are adapted to the U.S. market.
Saab’s business in the U.S. has grown continuously during the last ten years and is expected to grow even more. In addition to Saab’s manufacturing and engineering capability and test capability in the country, investments are also made in research and development in the U.S. to enable further growth.
