Saab has secured a 350-million-Swedish-kronor (approximately $34 million) contract from Denmark to enhance military training capabilities involving CV90 infantry fighting vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) engagements.
The order was placed by the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation, with deliveries expected to commence by the end of 2026 and continue through 2028.
The procurement includes Saab’s Instrumented Laser Duel System for the CV90, which combines laser-based technology with onboard instrumentation to simulate combat engagements during military field exercises. The system enables vehicle crews to practise realistic combat scenarios and evaluate their performance without requiring the use of live ammunition during simulated engagements.
The contract also incorporates additional training capabilities for drone operations and non-line-of-sight engagements. These enhancements will allow military personnel to rehearse a wider range of operational scenarios, including engagements involving aerial threats and targets located beyond the direct line of sight of deployed forces.
Denmark Expands Its Combat Training Capabilities
The latest procurement builds on a separate 680-million-Swedish-kronor (approximately $63 million) order awarded to Saab last year for its Combat Training Centre capabilities. That agreement includes equipment deliveries through 2027, alongside on-site technical support across four locations in Denmark.
The earlier contract covers a comprehensive range of military training solutions, including soldier and vehicle instrumentation, anti-tank and sniper training simulators, communication systems, and specialised software for exercise management and performance assessment.
Saab’s modular Combat Training Centre is designed to support large-scale military exercises involving up to 10,000 participants across an operational training area measuring 40 × 40 kilometres (25 × 25 miles). The platform enables multiple military formations to conduct coordinated exercises while simulating complex battlefield conditions.
Together, the two procurement agreements highlight Denmark’s continued investment in advanced military training infrastructure, with an increasing focus on integrating armoured vehicle operations, drone capabilities, and modern battlefield engagement scenarios into comprehensive combat training programmes.
