The defence and security company Saab has signed a
framework agreement with Italian Piaggio Aero Industries. Within the
framework agreement Saab receives an order for the integration of
surveillance systems in Piaggio Aero's new surveillance aircraft. The
order is valued at Euro 15,5 million (approximately SEK 135 million).
The
new aircraft, Piaggio Aero MPA (Multirole Patrol Aircraft), is a
multi-functional aircraft and can be used for airborne patrols over land
and sea.
Within the
framework agreement Saab receives an initial order for the delivery and
integration of the surveillance system MPA Mission System. The order
comprises two MPA aircraft and requires Saab to integrate a package of
advanced surveillance equipment comprising of sensors, radar, infra-red
cameras and a mission system.
"Saab has
many years' experience of integrating surveillance systems on its own
platforms and others, and on different types of aircraft,” says
Lars-Erik Wige, Head of business area Support and Services at Saab.
“This order proves Saab's ability to deliver market-leading and
high-performing surveillance systems in a very short time, whist being
competitively priced at a level that suits the market.”
Deliveries are scheduled for the period 2012 to 2015.
The
framework agreement aims to regulate the relationship between the two
parties and the terms and conditions for future orders.
