Israel sets up new department to boost development of AI and autonomy
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
Saab has been awarded an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration to provide tactical data links for the Swedish Navy’s surface warfare vessels, the company announced on 13 February.
The total order value is approximately $18.39 million.
The contract will see Saab integrate data links such as L22 and L16 into Swedish Navy platforms to enable closer co-operation and communication with other nations at sea during missions.
Link 16, a military tactical data exchange network used by NATO and allied nations, allows military aircraft, ships and ground forces to exchange tactical information securely in near real-time. Link 22 is primarily maritime and complements Link 16.
The Saab 9LV Combat Management System will be upgraded as part of the order. The 9LV is used by naval forces as command and control centre for surface vessels and submarines.

The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
