Saab has secured its first order from the Spanish Army for Individual Duel Simulation systems, marking the initial purchase under a framework agreement worth up to EUR 34 million. The contract covers a mix of equipment and services, including infantry soldier systems and exercise control tools intended for use across various Army units.

The agreement features Saab’s GAMER live training equipment, incorporating Personal Detection Devices, weapon kits and Manpack systems. It also includes options for additional training capabilities at a later stage.

Saab will set up its training systems in Spain in cooperation with local partner Tecnobit, allowing regiments nationwide to run realistic live exercises. The company says this will deliver a modern training environment across multiple sites.

“We are really proud to welcome the Spanish Army as a new customer of our live training solutions, which will provide the Army with cutting-edge training capabilities,” said Joakim Alhbin, head of Saab’s Training & Simulation business unit. “This order underscores the growing demand for realistic and interoperable training systems that enable armed forces to prepare for the complex challenges of modern warfare.”

Saab says its live training systems are recognised for their realism and interoperability, giving personnel an environment that mirrors real conditions. This supports improved situational awareness, decision making and overall readiness.

 

 

The contract will allow the Spanish Army to run a broad range of exercises, from small-unit training to future multinational manoeuvres. Saab says the technology will help the Army strengthen training effectiveness and ensure personnel are fully prepared for operational demands.
