production could for example cover installation of communication systems in defence
vehicles.

(e.g. sandblasting etc.), primer, paint and top
coat etc. and mounting/dismounting of assemblies.
The electric tasks are for example production of cables
– Mounting/Fitting, including plug/connector, wire, shielding, sealing and casting etc., general soldering, high current and
voltage, Test (e.g.
Functional, vibration, humidity, EMC, RADHAZ etc.) and canbus in vehicles.
Software are for example overall system test
of integrated subsystems and overall functional

The installations will be awarded through a light tender procedure, where the specific installations will be described. The conditions for the light tender procedure is described in the tender material. After the supplier has
