LINKOPING, Sweden, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Fully instrumented laser-based Tactical Engagement Simulation Systems are to be delivered to Poland by Saab of Sweden.

Saab said the two TESS systems for the General Tadeusz Kosciuszko Military Academy of Land Forces are being supplied are an initial order under a two-year contract from the academy.
