SAAB’S FOURTH GLOBALEYE CONDUCTS SUCCESSFUL FIRST FLIGHT

The aircraft took to the skies from Saab’s airfield in Linköping, Sweden on April 03, 2023, and performed several tests related to the aircraft’s capabilities.

GlobalEye is the most modern multi-domain Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) solution with an array of active and passive sensors that provide long-range detection and identification of objects in air, at sea and over land.

By providing real-time information to units in air forces, armies and navies, GlobalEye enables enhanced situational awareness of the surrounding areas and early detection of threats. It can also be used for non-military tasks such as leading and coordinating rescue missions during natural disasters or larger accidents at sea or on land.

Saab has the largest AEW&C customer base in the world, having delivered solutions over the last 30 years across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia for multiple mission roles.
