SAAB at 70…or Saab at 100?
On August 31 this year Saab held a party at its Linköping aircraft factory to celebrate the company’s 70th birthday.

On August 31 this year Saab held a party at its Linköping aircraft factory to celebrate the company’s 70th birthday. Guests were treated to a flying display by aircraft from Saab’s past and entertained at a forum where speakers from various business units described their vision of where the Swedish company might be in 30 years’ time, when it comes to celebrate its centenary in 2037.

The group is well placed to offer such predictions: since the acquisition of Ericsson Microwave Systems last year, it has finally become a complete systems house, with a portfolio including aircraft, weapons, radars, boats and vehicles. In addition to the hardware, Saab has amassed considerable experience in the design and implementation of autonomous systems and is in the forefront of network-centric solution development.
