Swedish defence company Saab has secured an order worth SEK 350 million (approximately USD 34 million) from Denmark to strengthen military training capabilities involving CV90 combat vehicles, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) engagements.
The contract was awarded by the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation, with deliveries expected to commence by the end of 2026 and continue through 2028.
The order includes Saab’s Instrumented Laser Duel System for CV90 infantry fighting vehicles, which combines laser technology with onboard instrumentation to simulate battlefield engagements during live field exercises. The system enables vehicle crews to practise realistic combat scenarios without exchanging live ammunition.
The package also introduces enhanced training capabilities for drone operations and non-line-of-sight engagements, allowing military personnel to rehearse a broader range of battlefield scenarios, including threats beyond direct visual contact.
Denmark Strengthens Its Integrated Combat Training Infrastructure
The latest contract builds on a previous order worth SEK 680 million (approximately USD 63 million), awarded last year for Denmark’s Combat Training Centre, with deliveries scheduled through 2027 and on-site support across four locations.
The earlier procurement includes individual soldier and vehicle training equipment, anti-tank and sniper simulators, communication systems, and specialised software for exercise management and performance assessment.
Saab’s modular Combat Training Centre is designed to accommodate up to 10,000 participants across an operational training area measuring 40 × 40 kilometres (25 × 25 miles), enabling large military formations to conduct coordinated exercises and improve battlefield readiness.
