The Estonian defense forces ordered the first laser simulators for gunnery
and combat training in 2008. Saab has
now received an additional order for simulators. The systems will be used by
infantry brigades, at the regiments and at the infantry school.
"I am proud that the Estonian defense forces have once again chosen Saab as their partner. They have used
our training systems for quite some time and are very capable of seeing the
benefits of realistic training. This order strengthens our position as one of
the world's leading suppliers of solutions for combat training," Asa Thegstrom, head of the
training and simulation business unit at Saab,
said in a press release.
The contract includes BT46 systems for the CV9035 combat vehicle as well as
several infantry simulators up to company level. Saab's new Manpack 300 is used for the control and monitoring of
exercises. Additionally, a five-year support contract is included.
"This is very good, both for us and for the customer. With this order
of BT46 training systems, the Estonian defense forces are obtaining the best
simulator on the market for training both combat vehicle crews and mechanized
units," Jyrki Kujansuu, head of
the Polish and Baltic market unit at Saab,
said.
The BT46 system is in use in more than 20 countries and Saab has delivered more than 7,000
vehicle simulators to over 100 applications worldwide.
