9LV

9LV is a Naval Combat Management System (CMS) from the Swedish company Saab. The 9LV was established when Philips Teleindustri AB (1975 renamed Philips Elektronikindustrier AB), a subsidiary of Philips of the Netherlands, was selected as the supplier of the torpedo and dual purpose gun fire control system including a radar fire control director for the Royal Swedish Navy Norrköpings-class torpedo boats.

Prior to the Norrköpings class, Philips provided torpedo fire control to Spica class and Plejad-class torpedo boats, as well as to Sjöormen class and Draken-class submarines, and also anti-submarine fire control for the Halland-class destroyers and Visby-class frigate. However, not until the air defence fire control and radar fire control director was introduced, the name 9LV was established; LV is the Swedish abbreviation for "luftvärn", i.e. air defence.

9LV is currently used on several classes of naval combatants, including the Australian Anzac-class frigates, the Swedish Visby-class corvettes, the Canadian Halifax-class frigates and the Australian Canberra-class landing helicopter dock ships.

The heritage of the name 9LV can be traced back to the late 1960s and Philips Teleindustri (Järfälla, SE). Philips gave the number nine to the product from Sweden.
