Citat:Today the Hungarian Ministry of Defence and the Swedish Defence and Security Export Agency (FXM) have signed a supplementary agreement for the JAS Gripen lease-purchase agreement between the two countries. This supplement applies to extra maintenance equipment to strengthen Hungary’s capacity for taking part in international operations.
The Swedish Defence Material Organisation (FMV) has awarded a contract to Saab to support the production of JAS 39 Gripen E multi-role combat aircraft.
Under the terms of SEK5.8bn ($802m) contract, the company will provide maintenance and support systems and also support pre-work for the Gripen E production.
Claimed to be the next step in the further development of the E-version of the JAS 39 flight system, the contracts form part of an agreement signed between the company and FMV in February 2013, covering activity for Gripen E from 2013 to 2026.
Total value of the orders under the original 2013 agreement, including those scheduled to be awarded in future, is estimated to be around SEK47.2bn ($7bn).
FMV Gripen programme manager Dan Averstad said the contract is a direct consequence of the decision taken by the Swedish Government in August last year that the development and procurement of the Gripen E shall be pursued in accordance to a plan.
Saab is already under contract to develop and modify 60 Gripen E fighters for the Swedish Armed Forces.
Deliveries of the aircraft are scheduled to commence in 2018 and will complete in 2026.
A next-generation version of the JAS 39 Gripen aircraft, the Gripen E features more powerful engines, a new active electronically scanned array radar, advanced avionics, and upgraded presentation systems in the cockpit to successfully conduct longer missions.
Equipped with increased number of weapon pylons, the fighter has maximum payload and more internal fuel for improved range and endurance, and is expected to enable the Swedish Air Force to meet its future operational requirements.
Exelis to develop and supply pneumatic missile eject launchers for Saab Aeronautics
Citat:Exelis (NYSE: XLS) has signed a business agreement with Saab Aeronautics to develop, supply and support Pneumatic Missile Eject Launcher pylons (PMEL) for use on Saab’s next generation Gripen E multirole fighter aircraft.
Saab announced today that it has selected AEL Sistemas (AEL) as a new supplier for the Gripen NG in Brazil. A technology transfer contract has also been signed by both the companies.
AEL will provide the wide area display (WAD) and the head-up display (HUD), which will be integrated in the Gripen NG for Brazil as part of the F-X2 contract. The WAD and HUD development program commenced in January 2015.
The new avionics systems program will run over four years and includes development, integration and production work to be performed in Porto Alegre. System integration work will be undertaken by Saab and Embraer.
The WAD for Brazil’s Gripen NG aircraft is a single intelligent and full-redundant multi-purpose display system, full-color, large-screen (19 x 8 in) with continuous image presentation and the state-of-the-art touch-screen controls capability. It is the primary source of all flight and mission information in the cockpit.
