Saab has signed a contract with South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration regarding support and supply of spare parts for its Arthur weapon-locating radar system used to detect and warn against incoming fire.

The order value is worth around SEK 795 million and the contract period is 2023-2028.

Saab will carry out the work with its local support team in South Korea, in cooperation with a team in Gothenburg, Sweden for spare parts supply and back-office support.

“The Republic of Korea Armed Forces is the largest operator of our Arthur weapon locating system and we are proud to contribute to its capability by ensuring the systems remain in operation with excellent availability,” said Carl-Johan Bergholm, Head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.
