Bulgarian Air Force Orders Saab’s Deployable Maintenance Facility

The Bulgarian Air Force has asked Saab to deliver Deployable Maintenance Facility (DAM) for use at numerous air bases throughout the country.

DAM will provide a complement to existing permanent infrastructure and provide sufficient capability for parking, protection and maintenance of a variety of fixed and rotary wing aircraft in the Bulgarian Air Force, Saab said in a statement Wednesday.

It provides enhanced and mobile maintenance capacity. Combined with an integrated Barracuda multispectral camouflage, DAM also provides protection against warfare sensors. By using DAM, the operational flexibility increases by reduced dependency on stationary infrastructure for maintenance and protection. DAM contributes to improved autonomy and mission endurance while safeguarding operational availability.

Along with the system deliveries, we will also provide training where DAM will be installed together with the end-user. Deliveries will commence later this year.
