The order includes a trailer-based satellite communication system, the program is known as VSAT. The systems are designed to be easily transported and quickly commissioned, and to be fully operated remotely. The contract will be delivered during 2023 with options for further extension.
“We look forward to continuing to support Sweden’s defense through our contribution to digitalization. Elbit is a world leader in satellite communication, from stationary to mobile solutions and the VSAT project is an important entry-level project for us. In addition, the systems will follow NATO standards and be easily integrated with NATO’s existing communication network.” says Tobias Wennberg, CEO of Elbit Systems Sweden.
