The Spanish Army has placed an initial order with Saab for its Individual Duel Simulation systems, Saab announced on 2 December 2025.
The order covers a mix of supplies and services and includes Saab’s advanced infantry soldier systems and exercise control to be used in different units within the Spanish Army. It is the first order within a framework agreement between the Spanish Army and Saab, with a potential maximum total value of approximately EUR 34 million.
The agreement includes Saab’s GAMER live training equipment, including personal detection devices (PDDs), weapon kits and manpack systems. It also includes the option to add further training capabilities.
Saab will now establish its training systems in Spain, together with local partner Tecnobit, to facilitate realistic live training at different regiments throughout Spain.
“Saab’s live training systems are renowned for their realism and interoperability, allowing soldiers and commanders to train in a simulated environment that closely mirrors real-world conditions,” Saab stated. “This immersive experience enhances situational awareness, decision-making skills and overall operational readiness.”
The systems to be delivered under this contract will enable the Spanish Army to conduct a wide range of training exercises, from small-unit tactics at different units to potentially larger-scale multi-national manoeuvres in future.
“We are really proud to welcome the Spanish Army as a new customer of our live training solutions, which will provide the army with cutting-edge training capabilities,” Joakim Alhbin, head of Saab’s Training & Simulation business unit, was quoted as saying in a company press release. “This order underscores the growing demand for realistic and interoperable training systems that enable armed forces to prepare for the complex challenges of modern warfare.”
