The Polish State Treasury Armament Agency has signed a contract with Swedish company Saab for design, production and support of two ships for Signal Intelligence (SIGINT).
A SIGINT ship is used to support the acquisition of intelligence data across the full spectrum of naval intelligence capabilities.
Saab will serve as prime contractor, designing and producing the two ships including the integration of advanced mission systems. The ships will be built by subcontractor Remontowa Shipbuilding SA in Poland.
“We are proud that Poland has selected Saab as a partner in naval intelligence ship systems. We will contribute with our capabilities by building advanced platforms with world-leading sensors, fully integrating complete mission systems, where we have long experience,” said Saab’s President and CEO Micael Johansson.
The effectiveness of the contract is subject to the fulfilment of certain financial conditions. All conditions are expected to be fulfilled by the end of 2022.
The total order value corresponds to approximately EUR 620 million with deliveries planned during 2027. The order is expected to be booked by Saab before year end.
