The move responds to increasing demand for the Sirius Compact sensor, designed to enhance situational awareness through passive detection and classification of various signal emitters. This development signals a broader expansion strategy for Saab, with a focus on increased exports and long-term growth in the region.
The newly established production site is already operational, and Saab has confirmed that the first serial-produced units will be delivered to customers in April 2025. The facility enables a high-paced production process aimed at ensuring timely delivery of cutting-edge technology.
Sirius Compact consists of a modular and scalable sensor family, including the R-ESM variant for radar and datalink signals and the C-ESM variant for communication signals. These systems offer improved geolocation and threat assessment capabilities in a compact format suited for various operational needs.
“Our product-focused research and development work enables efficient production and a product-driven business model. This enables fast deliveries and performance of the latest technology for our customers,” said Kristian Tornivaara, Managing Director of Saab Finland.
