Saab To Upgrade Norwegian Air Surveillance Radars

Saab has signed a contract with NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) for upgrading three SINDRE I air surveillance radars in Norway.

Deliveries will take place between 2017 and 2020, with work undertaken by Saab Technologies Norway, in Halden, Norway and Saab Defense and Security USA, in Syracuse, New York, USA.

”Saab’s radar upgrading approach is a proven and effective way to extend the service life of existing air surveillance radars. The Royal Norwegian Air Force will benefit from our low-risk, cost efficient upgrade program”, says Tore Bekkevold, managing director, Saab Norway.

Saab’s upgrade will include replacing obsolete hardware as well as upgrading software.
