Saab Trackfire

Protective And Support Equipment

The Saab Trackfire is a remote weapon station, a remotely operated weapon system that can be fitted with medium or light caliber weapons, manufactured by Saab Group. It can be mounted on vehicles, ships, and fixed installations. It is used by three nations: Finland has installed it on Hamina class missile boats, Jehu class landing craft, Pansio class minelayers, and Pohjanmaa class corvettes; Sweden has deployed it on CB90 HSM combat boats, BevB 88 vessels, and ground vehicles including the Sisu GTP and Mercedes-Benz G-Class platform equipped for counter-unmanned aerial systems; and Lithuania ordered Jehu class landing craft equipped with the system in 2022. Swedish installations pair the M230LF 30x113mm cannon and FN MAG 58 7.62x51mm NATO machine gun with Giraffe 1X radar for air defense.
