Defence and security corporation Saab has formalized a three-year pact with the Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV) to ensure ongoing maintenance and enhancements of air traffic management and airport systems across all Swedish Air Force airports and bases.
This agreement signifies that Saab will assume continual technical responsibility for coordinating systems, along with maintaining and developing the infrastructure associated with air traffic management and airport operations.
