Saab receives order for Giraffe 1X radars from U.S. Army

The U.S. Army has awarded Saab a contract to provide Giraffe 1X radars in support of security co-operation partners.

The order value is approximately USD 46 million. The order was booked in Q3 2025.

Saab will provide Giraffe 1X systems with deliveries starting in 2026. The order underscores the growing demand for Saab’s advanced radar technology to strengthen air defense and Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) capabilities worldwide.

As a small, lightweight 3D radar, Giraffe 1X can be used as a mobile, deployable or fixed asset that can be integrated into both ground and naval platforms. With its true multi-mission capability—spanning force protection, ground-based air defense, and sea surface surveillance—Giraffe 1X is the first radar of its kind, delivering unmatched operational flexibility to commanders.
