Saab has received an order from Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace for the
CEROS 200 FCS radar and optronic Fire Control System for the Norwegian
navy's Skjold-class Fast Patrol Boats. The contract is worth 20 million
USD.

The CEROS 200 FCS is an advanced Fire Control System that includes a
sight with radar and optronic sensors, and can be integrated with all
types of command and control system.

The system, developed and produced by SaabTech in Järfälla, Sweden, is
of the same type as the one supplied for the Swedish navy's Visby-class
corvettes and ordered by the Finnish navy for its Squadron 2000 vessels.
Another version of the system is in operational use on Finnish Rauma
ships and Australian ANZAC craft, for example.
