Saab of Sweden will supply the U.S. Army with multiple types of range targets under a five-year contract.

The targets were ordered for the Army’s Targetry Systems II program.

The five-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has a ceiling value of $475 million, with five contractors bidding for delivery orders for more than 100 target ranges.
