$715 Million, Delivery 2027
Saab announced on 30 June it has signed a contract with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for two GlobalEye Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft.
The SEK7.3 billion ($715 million) order envisions delivery of the two aircraft in 2027 and includes options that enable FMV to order up to two additional GlobalEyes. The aircraft features Saab’s Erieye Extended Range radar, with a range over 550km, a suite of advanced sensors and a C2 system integrated into the Global 6000 aircraft.
“GlobalEye will provide Sweden with world-class airborne early warning and control capability. 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,” commented Saab President and CEO, Micael Johansson.
GlobalEye provides a strong early warning and control capability over air, sea and land, and can provide real-time information to airborne, maritime and ground-based units. This 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.
