Saab Defense and Security Solutions

Saab AB is a Swedish aerospace and defense company with a heritage dating back to 1937. Originally founded as Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget to meet the domestic needs of the Swedish Air Force, the company has since evolved into a global leader in advanced technology, specializing in aeronautics, underwater systems, weapons, and sensors. While the former automotive division (Saab Automobile) was sold and eventually ceased production under that brand, the original defense entity continues to thrive as an independent powerhouse.

Today, Saab is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and maintains a significant global footprint with major operations across several continents. The company is renowned for world-class innovations such as the Gripen fighter jet, the GlobalEye surveillance system, and the Giraffe radar series. Its manufacturing is heavily concentrated in Sweden, though it maintains assembly and development facilities in countries like the United States, Australia, and Brazil to support international defense contracts and localized production requirements.
