The Swedish Defense Material Administration has given Saab an order to provide advanced anti-submarine warfare training to the Swedish Navy. The training will include the use of Saab's AUV62-AT autonomous underwater vehicle. "For the Swedish Navy this order means that they will have an increased capability and flexibility to practice and train their units in anti-submarine warfare," said Anne-Marie Vosu, head of Saab's Underwater Systems business unit. "Saab's experience and expertise within autonomous underwater vehicles means that we can offer world-leading training opportunities for our customers in anti-submarine warfare." The AUV62-AT is an artificial acoustic target that mimics a submarine in a way that is compatible with any torpedo and sonar system on the market today, Saab said. The order, which covers the period of 2016-2019, is the result of an earlier letter of intent between Saab and agency. The value of the training order was not disclosed.
