July 28, 2025 | SaabEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Saab has received an order for its Mobile Air Defence (MSHORAD) solution from the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces of the Czech Republic. The order value is SEK 1.8 billion and deliveries will take place 2028-2030.
The order includes Saab’s mobile firing units based on the RBS 70 NG short range missile system along with its Bolide missiles. Saab will integrate the MSHORAD solution onto the MARS S-330 vehicle, manufactured by the Czech company SVOS.
The MSHORAD solution will include a command-and-control system delivered by a Czech partner together with Saab, as well as a third-party radar solution already in operation with the Czech Armed Forces.
“We are proud to continue supporting the Czech Armed Forces’ capability, who already operate our RBS 70 NG air defence system in its man-portable setup. Our MSHORAD solution complements this with a highly mobile configuration, providing additional protection for troops on the move,” says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab’s business area Dynamics.
MSHORAD is Saab’s vehicle-integrated mobile air defence solution. It is modular and flexible and consists of radar units for detection, firing units for enemy engagement, connected with a command-and-control system. Saab can deliver everything from a complete turnkey MSHORAD solution, to selected modules and integration alongside customers’ existing equipment.
