This includes conceptual studies of manned and unmanned solutions in a system-of-systems perspective, technology development, and demonstrations. Saab will work closely with the FMV, the Swedish Armed Forces, the Swedish Defence Research Agency, GKN Aerospace, and other industry partners.
“Saab is in a strong position and, having recently developed the Gripen E and GlobalEye, we have the advanced technology and engineering know-how to move the future fighter concept forward. This means we will continue to provide innovative solutions to meet the future operational needs of the Swedish Armed Forces and other customers,” says Lars Tossman, head of Saab’s Aeronautics business area.
Saab will further develop collaborations with stakeholders working on emerging and disruptive technologies, which will play an important role in future combat aircraft systems. Saab will also explore innovation platforms, including the Swedish Government’s Defence Innovation Initiative and NATO’s North Atlantic Defence Innovation Accelerator.
The conceptual studies included in this contract will occur in parallel with Saab’s updates to the Gripen C/D and the introduction of the Gripen E in Sweden and Brazil.
