Saab will supply combat management and radar systems for a new frigate being built for the Royal Thai Navy. The company announced on 3 October that it has signed a contract for the work with Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) Korea.

The contract will see Saab develop and integrate the combat management system and radar system, as well as procure and integrate various third-party systems.
