Saab has signed a contract with French defence procurement agency DGA for an upgrade of the Giraffe AMB air defence radar and C2 shelter operated by the French Air and Space Force.
‘The lifespan of the French systems will be extended in order to allow its operational use up to at least 2033,’ Saab noted in a 21 December announcement.
This contract is part of the SCCOA aerospace C2 programme in France.
Upgrades are intended to enhance information assurance, IFF capabilities and interoperability with NATO allies.
Saab received the initial order for the Giraffe AMB systems and C2 shelter from France in 2001. The radar has been in service with the French armed forces since 2006.
