Defence and security company Saab have signed a contract on delivery of autonomous underwater vehicles systems, AUV62, in training configuration.

The order has a total value of MSEK 269 and comprises supply and long term maintenance and support of AUV62, the latest version of the advanced training target for Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) training.

Information regarding the customer will not be announced.

The AUV62 is an artificial acoustic target that mimics a submarine in a way that is compatible with any torpedo- and sonar system on the market today. The AUV62 system fully replaces the use of a submarine in the role as a manoeuvring training target. With the AUV62 Saab offers a state-of-the-art training capability for demanding customers investing in the future.

System deliveries will take place during 2014 and 2015, followed by long term maintenance and support of the systems.
