Saab has secured a significant order to provide equipment for the German Navy’s latest frigates, which will be produced in Germany under the leadership of Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) as the prime contractor. This contract includes an option for integrating and equipping additional frigates in the future.
Micael Johansson, CEO and President of Saab, expressed pride in continuing the longstanding relationship with Germany and the Bundeswehr, emphasizing the collaboration with TKMS to enhance the capabilities of the German Navy.
