Enhancing operational readiness: Saab delivers cutting-edge live training system to Polish Armed Forces
In a rapidly shifting security environment, ensuring that armed forces are confident, capable, and interoperable is more critical than ever. Demonstrating its commitment to long-term defence readiness, Poland has taken a major step forward by partnering with Saab to implement a state-of-the-art live training solution. The successful delivery of this comprehensive system marks a significant advancement in the Polish Armed Forces’ training capacity.
In brief
Saab completed in May the delivery of a comprehensive live training system for the Polish Armed Forces, fulfilling a contract worth nearly 1 billion Swedish kronor signed in 2021. The deployment covered five locations: the Combat Training Centre in Drawsko Pomorskie and regimental training systems in Żagań, Orzysz, Wędrzyn and Nowa Dęba. The system includes Exercise Control, communication systems and simulators for soldiers, weapons and vehicles, enabling exercises at company and battalion level. The second phase of the contract is a 3.5-year period of technical and logistical support.
The contract, signed in 2021 and valued at approximately 1 billion SEK, covered two major elements: supply and support. Now fully implemented, the system spans five strategic locations across Poland, significantly strengthening national training capabilities and enabling seamless integration with allied forces.
The delivered infrastructure includes:
- 1 x Combat Training Centre (CTC) in Drawsko Pomorskie (KSSPW)
- 4 x Regimental Training Systems (LSS) in Żagań, Orzysz, Wędrzyn, and Nowa Dęba
These locations are now equipped with high-fidelity simulators for soldiers, weapons, and vehicles, as well as Saab’s advanced Exercise Control (EXCON) and integrated communication systems. The solution supports battalion- and company-level training exercises and allows the Polish Armed Forces to participate effectively in multinational and NATO-aligned scenarios.
Notably, the technology provides scalable, realistic training environments that reflect modern battlefield conditions — including maritime and littoral operations — vital in today's multidomain conflict landscape.
Beyond delivery, the 3.5-year support phase ensures:
- Full logistical and operational support
- Lifecycle sustainment of systems
- On-site technical assistance and continued training
Joakim Alhbin, Head of Saab’s Training & Simulation business unit, emphasized the strategic importance of the program:
- We are incredibly proud to have successfully delivered this comprehensive training solution to the Polish Armed Forces. This achievement reinforces Saab’s commitment to providing world-class, deployable training capabilities that enhance the preparedness of our partners.
This delivery represents more than a technological upgrade — it is a powerful symbol of deepening defence cooperation between Saab and Poland, and a testament to NATO’s collective emphasis on readiness, realism, and regional resilience.
