DAM will support Hungary’s fleet of 14 Gripen C/D fighter aircraft. The Hungarian Air Force is operating the aircraft on a lease-purchase deal with Sweden.

Saab said: “DAM will provide an increased level of flexibility and reduce their dependency on stationary infrastructure for maintenance and protection of their Gripen fleet.”

The solution will provide the airforce with a rapidly deployable capability to sustain operations both within the country and overseas.

DAM has a low logistic footprint and can be transported by land, air or sea.

It includes a first-line maintenance hangar for providing docking to the maintenance containers.

The container system is a modular solution that offers main base maintenance workshop capacity to ensure aircraft availability to deployed forces.
