About this award
The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapon Division awarded Saab Aktiebolag, a Swedish defense manufacturer, a $1.22M firm fixed-price contract on September 25, 2023, to deliver two Enhanced Survivability Technology Countermeasure Dispensing Pods for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. The pods are designed to integrate with the F-35 aircraft's missile rails and dispense countermeasures—specifically 160 packets each of pyrophoric material and chaff—to enhance the aircraft's survivability during combat operations. The contract, which extends through September 25, 2026, requires the pods to meet specified electrical and mechanical interface requirements while remaining within weight and dimensional constraints of 300 pounds and 119 inches in length. Performance will occur in Sweden, and no small business set-aside was designated for this procurement.
Saab Aktiebolag was selected as the incumbent contractor based on its prior experience delivering similar countermeasure dispensing pods and its established capability as a foreign-owned aerospace and defense supplier to the Department of Defense. The deliverables will support at least 50 flight test hours for the F-35 Joint Program Office before reinspection is required, contributing to the continued development and certification of advanced electronic warfare capabilities for this critical military aircraft platform. This contract represents part of Saab's broader portfolio of defense technology contracts with U.S. government agencies, including multiple defense organizations and the Defense Logistics Agency.
