Saab UK has received an order from the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence for the compact radar system Giraffe 1X. The total order value is approximately GBP 24 million.
As a lightweight 3D multi-mission radar, Giraffe 1X can be used as a mobile, deployable or fixed sensor that can be integrated into both land and naval platforms. Its role ranges from force protection, weapon locating, ground-based air defence (including drone detection) and sea surface surveillance.
The radar systems have been ordered using funding from the UK administered NATO Security Assistance and Training Ukraine (NSATU) Trust Fund. They are being produced at Saab UK’s Centre of Radar Excellence in Fareham.
