Swedish Saab and Indian truck manufacturer Ashok Leyland have teamed to compete for the Indian Army's Short Range Surface to Air Missile (SRSAM) air defence programme. The teaming was announced during the Defexpo India 2014, biennial Land, Naval and Internal Homeland Security Systems Exhibition, being held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from 6th to 9th February 2014.
The team will offer Saab's BAMSE air defense missile system integrated with the Ashok Leyland Super Stallion 8x8, a high-mobility vehicle capable of operating in all types of terrain under all weather conditions. The Saab BAMSE SRSAM is an all-weather, all-target, air defence missile system that can be deployed to protect fixed and mobile assets.
The BAMSE SRSAM is a purpose-built ground-based air defence missile and is the latest in a long line of successfully developed and deployed Saab missile systems. The complete SRSAM system includes the GIRAFFE AMB, a powerful 3D surveillance radar and command and control system intended for short and medium-range ground based air defence and the BAMSE MCC missile launcher with six ready-to-fire missiles.
