Saab Receives Order For New Advanced Airborne Surveillance Systems From UAE


Defence and security company Saab has signed a contract with the United Arab
Emirates (UAE) to expand and enhance the Emirates’ airborne surveillance
capabilities. Saab will deliver a new airborne Swing Role Surveillance System
(SRSS) incorporating a new version of the Saab Erieye radar system. The order
value amounts to approximately USD1.27 billion.
The new SRSS for the UAE uses the Global 6000 aircraft from Bombardier as a
platform. The Swing Role Surveillance System is capable of simultaneous
detection and tracking of multiple targets in the air, on land and at sea. It is
the latest evolution of the Erieye system that incorporates Saab’s many decades
of radar capabilities across all domains.

“The new version of Erieye is without a doubt the most capable airborne early
warning and control system on the market. Saab’s capability to develop high
technology solutions for customers shows that our focus on research and
development is the right way to ensure continued competitiveness on the defence
market,” says Håkan Buskhe, President and CEO of Saab.

"Saab understands the vital importance of advanced airborne surveillance and we
have a family of products that play a key role in defence and civil security.
The UAE’s selection of Saab’s solution confirms our strong position regarding
airborne surveillance and systems integration,” says Micael Johansson, head of
Saab Business Area Electronic Defence Systems.

The work will be carried out at Saab's facilities in Gothenburg, Linköping,
Järfälla, Arboga and Luleå.
