Saab Avitronics has succeeded in an intense competition to supply the Airbus A400M military transport with its lifetime monitoring system, the first of which is due for delivery in 2009. The revenue from this deal could exceed $7.1 million and last for more than 10 years. Production of the LTMS will be conducted at the Saab Avitronics plant in Centurion, one of three it operates in South Africa in addition to four in Sweden.

The LTMS will monitor loads and heavy landings in the aircraft, as well as sampling and recording key fatigue-related parameters to determine inspection threshold and intervals for proactive fleet management.
