Saab is founded
For those of you who are not so familiar with SAAB, here comes a short introduction: Saab has a long history serving the global market with world-leading products, services and solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. Founded in 1937 SAAB has its roots in the military aircraft industry with a number of aircrafts developed an delivered through the years. During the years SAAB has through merges and acquistions developed its portfolio to include solutions for air, land and sea. One important acquistion was in year 2000 where Celcius industries another large swedish player in the military defence industry. Saab is today a multinational company with operations and employees on all continents with revenues of around 2,3 billion euros. I represent a business segment within SAAB focusing on products and solutions for civil security, where we form a business unit for maritime surveillance.
SAAB – Svenska Aeroplan aktiebolaget, was founded 1937, primarily aiming to meet the need of a domestic military aircraft industry in Sweden. The first military aircraft, B17, was delivered in 1941.
1947- SAAB starts producing cars, when the market for military aircraft was shrinking. Symbol was SAAB with bomber aircraft. Looking at the first SAAB 92 it was clear it had inherited a lot of design and technology from the aircraft industry. SAAB was now producing both cars and aircrafts.
1969 – SAAB merges with Scania forming SAAB-Scania and offer military aircrafts, trucks, buses and cars.
1990 – Passenger car division becomes a separate company – SAAB Automobile; owned 50% by SAAB-Scania and GM.
1995 – SAAB-Scania group is divided into two companies, SAAB AB and Scania. SAAB automobile is still a company within SAAB.
2000- SAAB automobile 100% owned by GM. SAAB to merge with Celcius industries- a large swedish military and defence industry- to serve worldwide markets within defence, aviation, commercial aerospace and civil security.

SAAB has a long tradition in developing and manufacturing AIS transponders. SAAB is one of the pioneers in the business, dating back more than a decade with the first Class A AIS transponder produced, with more than transponders delivered througout the world. Today we have a complete range of AIS transponders…..Part of these transponders are made for Inland AIS, where we were the first to have an approval and have supplied to customers primarily in Europe.
Besides the range of shipping products, SAAB can offer specially developed AIS products for advanced users like Navy, Coastguard, Police forces. Our long tradition within avition we also have a AIS transponders for airborne applications, i.e helicopters och airplanes, most of them in service for maritime survaillenance and SAR operations.

4. R4 AIS TRANSPONDER SYSTEM
R4 AIS Class A Transponder System
R4 IAIS Inland AIS System
R4 Class B
This is our AIS transponder solution for Class A and Inland applications featuring the transponder along with a separate display. Inland transponder is including extended information specific for european river information services. It is fully compatible with a standard Class A system.
Our Inland transponders are operational throughout Europé many of them on vessels travelling the Danube. As you all now the only thing that is constant in this world is changes..some call it evolution..we call it the R5.

The R5 is the next generation of AIS transponders from SAAB. It will be available in two product variants: Singel and Dual box edition. The introduction will during the course of the this year.
A compact system with integrated MDK
Design for use on inland vessels
Built to meet IEC “Exposed” equipment req.

8. SAAB R4 IAIS Portable AIS Solution
Fully IMO compliant
Qualified according to IEC ed. 4
(Portable equipment)
Suitable for temporary AIS installations
Cable or Optional Wireless interface to MKD or PC (WiFi/Bluetooth)
MTBF >35,000h
External antennas for optimal system performance
NiMH battery back-up technology – 8 hours
13 kg
Based on our history to make portable AIS transponders solutions, for those of you who are familiar with the R3, we now have redesigned to fit the R4 AIS platform. It is designed be temporarily installed on the vessel to be used for a limited period and then removed. We designed it for mainly two types of customers: Navy RIB boats and Inland vessels. It may be operated solely using the batteries included or connected to power. We believe 8 hours should be enough for most cases because it has an affect of the weight.
The new version of the R4 portable is among other delivered to Canal administration and River administration in Romania.

SAAB has focused and spent many years developing an AIS network that is robust, scalable and secure. The purpose of the system is to manage data AIS within the network between the various clients and the base stations. SAAB philosiphy for AIS network is the possiblity to share data between users, organisations and authorites in a secure and efficient way. Our AIS network is open with a well defined interface for external clients, e.g ECDIS/AIS presentation systems.
SAAB AIS network is operational in over 10 National AIS systems, the largest deployed currently is China where more than 250 redundant base stations are managed by our AIS Network solution and provided to third party system applications. The system is normally functioning as the AIS backbone providing data to other users and system applications which are built around.
Our AIS network is operational in Romania and under implementation in Belgium.

12. ASM Management system - Romania
Full system management
Presentation of detailed system status
Presentation of system Alarms
SW updates in all equipment
Full system backup
This is an example taken from the AIS system in service for RoRIS in Romania.
Redundancy: If standard connection to base station is lost, another Network server will take over.
Possibility to set up National and Regional control centers who are connected to each other. If one control center will be disconnected from the system, it will continy to work independently and locally stored data will be synchronized once connectivity is being restored again.
