Shallow waters. Open ocean. Cold, warm or brackish conditions. Saab’s Lightweight Torpedo (SLWT) operates across them all without flinching. It combines fire-and-forget simplicity with wire-guided control, allowing operators to navigate complex environments when needed. Even if the wire is cut, the mission continues, or the torpedo can safely abort and settle on the seabed. SLWT delivers versatile performance for navies operating in diverse environments, well-suited to the Indian Navy’s operational realities across the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and island territories.

Drones don’t play by the rules. They can fly low and slow or high and fast, operate alone or in swarms, and strike from kilometres away or right over the fence. India faces real drone pressure across multiple borders, demanding systems that can think and respond as one. This is where integrated systems come in. As Saab’s Loke system demonstrates, it takes sensors to detect and classify threats, command and control to coordinate the response, and effectors tailored to the threat, all working together seamlessly.

In enemy airspace, staying undetected is everything. Arexis’s advanced escort-jamming capabilities enable you to gain a tactical advantage by actively disrupting, deceiving, and misleading your adversaries. With Arexis on board, you are never alone. It is always there, watching your back and ready for whatever comes next.

Fixed. Ready. Always watching, without being seen. Saab’s Sirius Compact L24R mounts on masts, towers or existing infrastructure. It delivers persistent, wide-area surveillance by detecting, tracking, classifying and localising radar emissions across air, sea and land. The configuration is ideal for India’s border surveillance posts, coastal monitoring, or protecting critical assets where staying hidden matters as much as listening to the electromagnetic spectrum.

Plug a large language model (LLM) into an underwater vehicle’s control system, and things get interesting fast. Earlier this year, a team at Saab Underwater Systems showed that fusing real-time sensor data with an LLM lets the vehicle understand its surroundings, reason on the fly, and act autonomously, even when it is cut off from all communication. This is a lot more than assistance; it is AI redefining how these vehicles think, decide, and operate.

Just a few weeks back, Saab’s Gripen F took to the skies for the first time. Conducted at Saab’s airfield in Linköping, the milestone flight was flown by Saab Chief Test Pilot Jakob Högberg alongside Brazilian Air Force test pilot Lieutenant Colonel Aviator Abdon Vasconcelos. In this video, Lieutenant Colonel Aviator Abdon Vasconcelos shares what it was like to fly the next-generation twin-seat fighter and what Gripen F means for the future of the Brazilian Air Force.

If a Sirius Compact R-ESM falls into enemy hands, there’s no sensitive data stored in the sensor to compromise. Sirius Compact R-ESM is designed to operate autonomously, turning signal information into situational awareness without storing sensitive data in the sensor. Working alongside other active and passive sensors, it brings powerful Electronic Warfare (EW) capability to the tactical arena.

Keep eyes locked on the target the entire time. With Saab’s Trackfire, the operator keeps a constant line of sight on the target, cutting target acquisition time to a minimum and staying locked in when it matters most. But there is more. Trackfire’s Remote Weapon Station continuously lase targets during engagement, generating a full ballistic solution with 3D target prediction. The operator can instantly select the right weapon and engage, even against fast-moving threats like drones. Fast decisions. Precise outcomes. All from a protected position.

First Gripen produced in Brazil takes to the skies 📷 Saab and Embraer celebrate the first flight of the first Gripen E produced in the country, which took place this week in Gavião Peixoto, São Paulo. A milestone for the Gripen Programme and the Brazilian aerospace industry.

One system. Multiple missions. Critical timing. Whether protecting important infrastructure, supporting manoeuvre forces, or countering aerial threats on land and at sea, Trackfire Remote Weapon Station gives operators the tools to detect, track and engage rapidly evolving threats with advanced target tracking, continuous laser ranging and predictive ballistic solutions. Combined with remote operation from a protected position, Trackfire Remote Weapon Station provides the capability needed when seconds make the difference.

For Saab, making in India and for the world is the next step. Speaking at the NDTV Defence Summit 2026, Tapan Rishi Bhatnagar, Chief Operating Officer, Saab FFVO India, said: “With our Jhajjar facility in India, we aim to make Carl-Gustaf in India, for India and for the world. We are not just looking at one domestic contract. We want Indian suppliers to become part of Saab’s global supply chain network. Our goal is to have a future where our Indian suppliers come up with innovative solutions and give us feedback on how the system can be improved.” ndtv.com/india-news/ndtv-def…

Saab's AT4CS AST is built for urban warfare. Now in service with the Indian Armed Forces, the system can take on multiple target types and breach new entry points into buildings. Fast. Intuitive. Devastating in close-quarters combat.

For modern armed forces such as India’s, the drone threat is no longer distant. It is here, persistent, evolving, and increasingly difficult to ignore. Drones are the new battlefield reality, demanding a response to match. Saab’s Nimbrix is designed for that reality: a purpose-built Counter-UAS missile engineered to defeat small, fast-moving drones with precision and efficiency. Quick to deploy. Hard to evade. Built to evolve as the threat evolves. saab.com/markets/india/stori…

There was a time when nothing could prepare a soldier for their first combat experience. Not anymore. With Saab’s Ground Combat Indoor Trainer, realism begins long before the battlefield. High-fidelity weapon systems, sensor-based feedback, and clear graphical analysis deliver immersive handling, accurate ballistics, and smarter target behaviour. More effective training. Better-prepared soldiers. Ready before the first shot is fired.

As simple as aim and fire. The one-man portable NLAW puts serious anti-tank power in a single soldier’s hands. Spot a threat, raise it to the shoulder, deploy the sights, select firing mode, and engage. In just five to six seconds, even the most advanced main battle tanks can be taken out with a single shot.

Eventually, the test of a fighter is when it gets chosen to be on the frontline of the most contested battle fronts. The smart fighter will now transform Ukraine’s Air Force. 16 Gripen E jets will officially be booked in the third quarter of 2026.

#KnowYourCarlGustafAmmunition In India’s extreme battlegrounds — from the blistering +50°C deserts of Jaisalmer to sub-zero Himalayan heights — high-performance ammunition behaves very differently. Propellant burn rate and muzzle velocity shift dramatically with temperature, hurting accuracy. The Carl-Gustaf HE 448 changes that. When paired with the M4 and FCD 558, its ‘Firebolt’ protocol shares real-time propellant temperature with the fire control device. This allows precise compensation, so the round exits on the correct trajectory and delivers a significantly higher probability of first-round hit — whatever the conditions our soldiers face.
