AerotechTelub receives order worth SEK 72M
Keywords: AerotechTelub, Aircraft industry
AerotechTelub and IG JAS (The Industry Group JAS) have received an order worth SEK 72 million from the Sweden's Defence Materiel Administration for type-specific maintenance equipment for the JAS39 Gripen aircraft. The equipment is intended for service platoons, turnround troops and the Swedish Armed Forces' aircraft workshops in Lulea. The equipment will be successively delivered during a period of two years.
The maintenance equipment is ordered for the 7th and 8th JAS squadrons. This order means that AerotechTelub has received an order for a basic package of maintenance equipment for all the JAS squadrons which, with the present focus in the Swedish JAS programme, are 8 squadrons.
A second order, worth SEK 24 million, from the Defence Materiel Administration is for work with the Swedish Air Force's new tactical radio system TARAS. The order concerns technical consultancy services such as reports, measurements and analyses of the radio system.
TARAS is used for communication between combat control centres and aircraft such as JAS39 GRIPEN but also between aircraft. From a technical point of view TARAS will be among the world's most advanced radio systems for military aircraft communication.
