Saab AB
Saab AB is a Swedish defense and security company. It designs and builds military aircraft, radar systems, sensors, electronic warfare equipment, submarines, and command-and-control software. Its products help governments detect threats, protect airspace and coastlines, and connect military units with real-time information. The company mainly sells to national defense ministries, armed forces, and public agencies that need long-life equipment and technical support. It also supplies training, maintenance, upgrades, and spare parts, which creates recurring service revenue after the initial sale. Saab makes money by delivering large defense systems, then supporting those systems over many years. What makes Saab’s business different is that it sits deep in the defense value chain: it is not just a hardware maker, but also a systems integrator that combines aircraft, sensors, software, and support into one package. That makes it important for countries that want domestic or trusted suppliers for sensitive military technology.
