Saab signs deal for Franco-British Maritime Mine Counter Measures

Saab has received the first order from prime contractor Thales, acting as System Integrator of the end to end solution, for the Multi-Shot Mine Neutralisation System (MuMNS). The order value is approximately US$35 million and deliveries of the first systems will take place in 2022. This order was booked during Q4 2020. The order received from Thales is part of the Franco-British Maritime Mine Counter Measures (MMCM) program, where Saab will deliver state-of-the-art mine identification and disposal systems operated from unmanned surface vessels. These will serve with the Royal Navy and French Navy. “We are proud to announce our first customers of the MuMNS. It’s a great success to deliver capabilities that enable these navies to perform safer and more efficient Mine Countermeasures operations, since the operator can neutralise multiple sea mines from a safe distance,” says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab’s business area Dynamics.
