Our vision
Since Saab was started, we have strived to keep society and people safe. It is a basic human need to feel safe and, as we see it, a human right. Through systems and solutions that increase security, we can make this possible.
A history of high technology
A complex world that demands new ways of thinking to achieve much with less – this is the environment in which Saab was moulded. Saab was founded in 1937 to manufacture fighter aircraft for the Swedish Armed Forces. The solutions needed to be intelligent and cost-efficient from the start – beginning on the drawing board. In short: Saab was born smart. As the world is marked by old and new threat scenarios and conflicts, deeper dependencies and new forms of cooperation are evolving. An increasingly integrated society requires technology with the flexibility, multi functionality and ability to operate jointly. Demands for efficiency have driven Saab to always secure the entirety rather than the details. In parallel with this, the tradition of making the most of limited resources has been interpreted from an operational and lifecycle perspective. This is not only a question of purchasing costs, but also of owning and operating costs. It is a question of reliability, availability and sustainability. The technological challenges throughout the years have driven and developed Saab into a broad-based innovation powerhouse and a strong competitor on the international defence and security market. World-class, high technology expertise has been developed and the list of innovations is long. As an international company, the ability to produce innovative, effective solutions tailored to local conditions is a key competitive advantage.
