The order enables continued development of the Gripen system and includes the operation and support of test aircraft and advanced tools, such as rigs and simulators. These assets are used for verification and validation of the Gripen system and for the development of new capabilities.
“To enable continued development, advanced tools that are easy to operate, efficient to maintain and fast to configure are required. This order ensures that Saab’s development resources meet these requirements, so that the Gripen system can continue to be continuously upgraded to meet today’s and tomorrow’s threat landscape,” says Lars Tossman, head of Saab’s business area Aeronautics.
