The Norwegian armed forces have awarded a $16.8488 million contract to Saab for the supply of training and simulation systems and support for its combat training centre, the company announced on 1 October.
The deliveries under the contract - which is a continuation of the existing service contract - are scheduled from 2016 to 2020.
The Norwegian Combat Training Centre provides complete battalion-level training system for vehicles, soldiers, and anti-tank weapons, along with an exercise control system.
