Saab unveils first first GlobalEye Airborne Early Warning & Control aircraft
Saab, a global provider of world-leading products, services and solutions for military defence and civil security rolled out the first GlobalEye Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft at its Linköping site, Sweden.
Saab is at present producing the GlobalEye AEW&C combining ground, maritime and air surveillance in one solution.
GlobalEye is a superior, swing role airborne surveillance system based on a Bombardier Global 6000 jet which has undergone a modification programme to adapt it for its role.
The development and production agreement was awarded by the United Arab Emirates at the Dubai Air Show November 2015 with an initial order for two systems and an additional order in 2017.
“Saab’s breadth and depth of expertise combines all of the necessary knowledge and technology required to design, develop and produce the most advanced AEW&C systems. Our collective capabilities deliver unrivalled solutions such as GlobalEye,” said Anders Carp, Senior Vice President and Head of Saab’s business area Surveillance. “This milestone is clear evidence that the GlobalEye programme and Saab are delivering on our commitments.”
The GlobalEye solution brings extensive detection range, endurance and the ability to carry out several roles with one solution such as search & rescue, border surveillance and military operations.
