Swedish aerospace and defence group Saab revealed on Friday that it and South African Defence group Denel had cooperated to integrate the former’s Giraffe radar with the latter’s Umkhonto surface-to-air missile. “It’s producing a system that’s going to be very hard to beat,” affirmed Saab country unit Africa head Hans Rosén to Engineering News Online. This development is, in a sense, a spin-off of the acquisition of the Saab Gripen fighter by the South African Air Force. During that programme, he explained, the two businesses learned to trust each other.
