CRANSTON – Swedish aerospace and defense company Saab, which last year established its first U.S. maritime division in Rhode Island, has received a $9 million order from the U.S. Navy for submarine warfare training target production.
All manufacturing for the order, which includes 1,200 expendable mobile anti-submarine warfare training target units, will take place at Saab’s Cranston facility, which was launched last year in partnership with SyQwest marine technology company.
