The order has a total value of US$25.8 million for delivery next year (2013). “Having this system in service and combat proven with U.S. Special Operations Forces is yet another stamp of approval and proof of the continued confidence that the U.S. Special Operations Command customer has in our company and our products”, said Saab North America President, Dan-Åke Enstedt.
