National Innovation System of Sweden

The Swedish NIS recently underwent restructuring in

order to reduce the number of agencies and clarify
their mission.
NUTEK is Sweden’s central public authority for
questions related to economic development.
NUTEK has been divided into;
Swedish Business Development Agency (NUTEK)
Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA)
Institute for Growth Studies (ITPS)

Missle System, RBS70
The RBS 70 man-portable air-
defence missile system has
acquired a first-class reputation
based on its outstanding
performance, unique
unjammable laser-guided
missile.
The system has been designed to
be easy to use requires minimum
personnel and logistic support,
enabling it to be deployed and
redeployed quickly and to have
minimised reaction time.
Air defence does not necessarily mean large semi-
25
stationary installations.
Missle System, RBS70
Developed to supply;
Low-cost
Easy to use
Effective short-range
SAM(Surface to Air Missile)
system.
Mobility ( Swedish army’s
strategy need )
Low maintenance ( Swedish
army’s strategy need )
Impossible to jam
Growth potential to night Swedish air defense
capability Robot system 70
26
Technical features
Guidance method …………………...: Laser beam riding
missile.
Effective range ……………………...…: 7,000 m
Height coverage ……………………...: 4,000 m
Deployment time ………………….…: 30 sec
Reloading time incl. new firing .:Less than 7 sec
Fuze…………………………………………:Laser proximity fuze
with impact function. Disconnectable by operator.
Warhead ………………………………….:Combined with
prefragmentation and shaped charge

27
Technical features

Kill probability……………: >90 % in the head on sector.

Radar …………………….……: Ericsson PS-70R Giraffe
G/H-band radar.
Emplace/displace time..: 1 min
Sight ……………………………: 35 kg
Stand …………………………..: 25 kg
Missile …………………………: 26.5 kg

28
Technical features

The operator receives instructions on the position of

the target from a local SLT (combat-control terminal)
which is about the size of a laptop.
 The SLT in turn receives information through an
encoded radio broadcast made by either a radar
station or some other information gathering source.

29
Technical features

When the target has been acquired by the operator he

turns off the safety, which switches on the main laser
and sends out an IFF(IFF (Identification Friend or Foe)
 signal.
If positive makes firing impossible.
 If the operator is confident that he has a good track he
fires. 

The missile then flies in the beam of the laser from the
sight, adjusting its position constantly to stay within the
beam.

Development of the missile of RBS 70

RBS 70 has been constantly updated and improved

The first versions (Mk 0) had a short range and limited kill
capabilities.
Mk 1 and Mk 2 followed shortly
The latest development is the BOLIDE system.
The BOLIDE missile is an RBS 70 Mk 2 upgrade that is faster.
The BOLIDE has also a new warhead, which is ashaped
charge with a pre-fragmented jacket.
The adaptable proximity fuse gives it full effectiveness against a
wider variety of targets.
 New reprogrammable electronics gives it the possibility to
engage attack cruise missiles.
33
Megatrends of RBS70
Technologies in RBS 70
Propellant booster motor developed by Bofors.
 Propellant sustainer motor by BAE Systems.
COND (Clip-On Night Device) by Bofors. (8 micron to 12
micron infrared band)
 QWIP (Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector) thermal
imaging technology by Saab Bofors.
Ericsson PS-70R Giraffe G/H-band radar.

"A hostile target can be located visually by the RBS 70 missile

operator or the target can be detected by a search radar."

34
TLC of RBS

Low cost, love mainenance cost, mobility, radar

technologies, laser beam riding missile and other
high-tech systems gives RBS 70 long life missile
system.
Cost-effective life-cycle support solutions.
After heat-seeking missile, RBS 70’s laser beam riding
missile is the newest technology in its segment.
We can’t say a certain years of TLC but seems pretty
long…

Global competition

Mistral Air Defense Missile System, France

Saab Microwave System supported.
Contact fuse and laser proximity fuse
Patriot Missile Air Defense System, USA
Has bigger war head
Contact fuse and laser proximity fuse ( Saab bofor co-
operated)
Almost all systems upgraded in same direction after
Germans invented it at the end of WWII and just some of
them like RBS 70 and main competitor Patriot Missile
system came forward.
38
Conclusion

Countries have developed their army with the new

innovations to find solutions according to military
needs or new upgrades to make their military staff
more effective and efficent by the end of WWII.
Since Sweden is the most innovative country in EU
they put the same performance in Millitary side of
innovation and the future of swedish science seems
bright with the help of private organizations like Saab
Bofor…
