Saab Provides Training Support for Norwegian Defence

Saab has received an order from the Norwegian Defence Materiel Organisation regarding support, service and maintenance for the Combat Training Centre in Rena. The contract also includes on-site support for four additional training and simulation locations in Norway, as well as at Rena. The order value is approximately SEK 190 million and the contract period is 2024-2027.

“With this contract, we ensure that the Norwegian Armed Forces have the required interoperable training capabilities today and in the future,” says Joakim Alhbin, head of business unit Training & Simulation within Saab’s business area Dynamics.

The Norwegian Armed Forces have been using Saab’s training and simulation systems since 2004 and this contract contributes to the Armed Forces’ retaining the capability to train units up to brigade size, in-country as well as abroad. The systems are fully interoperable with NATO and other allied countries, which is crucial in multinational live exercises with simulators. Norway’s training partners include, among many others, the US, Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands.
