10th Giraffe for UK
Saab has just delivered the tenth
Giraffe AMB (Agile Multi Beam) air
defence radar to the UK Ministry
of Defence, making it the largest
operator of the land-based version
of the radar in the world.
Giraffe AMB has been in UK service since
2010, and forms a vital element
of the Sky Sabre ground-based air
defence system. It provides target
tracking to the British Army’s new
Land Ceptor air defence system –
recently demonstrated during live-
fire trials in northern Sweden – and
was used at the 2012 Olympics to
support airspace management.
