DENMARK —Saab has received a SEK 350 million contract from the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation for additional live training equipment, with deliveries planned across 2026–2028. The procurement will expand Denmark’s existing Combat Training Centre capabilities through upgraded simulation technology designed to replicate increasingly complex battlefield conditions.
The order covers Saab’s Instrumented Laser Duel System (ILDS) for CV90 infantry fighting vehicles, incorporating non-line-of-sight engagement simulation and drone-related training capabilities. These additions will allow military personnel to conduct instrumented field exercises involving emerging operational scenarios, including unmanned aerial systems and engagements beyond direct line of sight.
The development builds on a separate agreement signed in 2025 between Saab and Denmark to establish four Combat Training Centre sites. The latest order extends that programme by introducing additional training functions rather than establishing an entirely new training infrastructure.
The procurement reflects a broader shift in military training requirements as armed forces adapt to battlefield conditions increasingly influenced by drones, precision weapons and extended engagement ranges. Integrating these capabilities into live exercises enables units to assess operational coordination, tactical responses and equipment performance in simulated combat environments. This is particularly relevant for European NATO members seeking to improve readiness against evolving conventional and technology-driven threats.
For Denmark, the expanded capabilities are expected to strengthen the preparation of personnel operating CV90 platforms and improve the realism of collective military exercises. The programme also supports the development of interoperable training environments, an important consideration for multinational defence cooperation and NATO operations.
Saab is a Swedish defence and aerospace company supplying military systems, equipment and training and simulation solutions to international customers. Its Training and Simulation business develops instrumented systems for live-force training. The Danish order reinforces the company's position in the European military training market while extending its existing relationship with Denmark. The SEK 350 million contract also demonstrates continued investment in simulation-based military readiness alongside conventional defence equipment procurement.
