Deliveries of the Barracuda multi-spectral camouflage systems, in woodland configuration, are to take place between next year and 2022, Saab said in a news release.

"This year we celebrate 60 years of developing static and mobile camouflage systems, and this order is a proof of that experience."

The Barracuda provides protection for vehicles when they are moving or when in a static position.
