The high-tech aircraft provides a strong early warning and
control capability over air, sea and land, and can provide
real-time information to units in the Air Force, Army and Navy.
Such data enables situational awareness of the surrounding areas and
early detection of threats. In addition to the military
capability, GlobalEye can also be used for tasks supporting
civilian society, for example by leading and coordinating rescue
missions during natural disasters or larger accidents at sea or on
land.
“GlobalEye will provide Sweden with world-class
airborne early warning and control capability,” said Saab’s President and CEO Micael
Johansson. “Saab’s most
important mission is to keep people and societies safe, and I am
proud that GlobalEye will further strengthen the Swedish Armed
Forces’ capability.”
Saab will carry out the work in Gothenburg,
Linköping, Järfälla, Arboga and Luleå, Sweden, Tampere, Finland
and Centurion, South Africa.
Deliveries of the new aircraft are planned for 2027.
