I don't think we are using such system on the Falcons, though i did hear army or airforce guys used such EW systems especially in the COIN operations, especially the direction finding systems & jamming systems. And helicopters were mostly used to my knowledge. May be the pic had been given as an example that it can be entertained in such kind of aircraft.

Saab Receives Order Within AEW&C
(Source: Saab AB; issued May 30, 2016)
Defence and security company Saab has received an order within the Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) segment. The order amounts to approx. SEK 1.1 billion. Deliveries will be made from 2016 until 2018.

The airborne early warning and control system (AEW&C) provides access to a detailed situational awareness that for example can be used for border surveillance, search and rescue operations and for tackling terrorism and organised crime.

The effectiveness of the underlying contract is subject to fulfilment of certain financial conditions.

The industry’s nature is such that due to circumstances concerning the product and customer, further information about the customer will not be announced.

Work will be undertaken within Saab’s business area Surveillance and business area Support and Services.


Saab serves the global market with world-leading products, services and solutions within military defence and civil security. Saab has operations and employees on all continents around the world. Through innovative, collaborative and pragmatic thinking, Saab develops, adopts and improves new technology to meet customers’ changing needs.

Any idea who this could be?

Probably a Middle Eastern country. Last time an undisclosed country ordered Saab systems, it turned out in Saudi Arabia. So might be related. Highly doubtful it's Pakistan.

Could also be Pakistan. A genuinely credible member - @Bilal Khan 777 - claimed that the PAF was working on replacing the Erieye it lost in 2012. It had secured the Saab 2000 it'll use, so it may now be ordering the Erieye system. As to why Sweden wouldn't disclose the name; in Pakistan's case, it is probably a matter of not wanting to upset India.

Saab has received a contract worth around SKr1.1 billion ($132 million) to provide airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system equipment to an undisclosed customer.

“Deliveries will be made from 2016 until 2018,” the Swedish company said on 30 May. “Further information about the customer will not be announced,” it adds.

Is this the reason why so many miscreants are being apprehended?

Wont be us!
China is going to be the source we would look towards for needs in this particular area. No chance of SAAB especially after the post Kamra attack issues we faced with them.

@Bilal Khan 777 said that the destroyed Erieye will be replaced by another - an aircraft for the purpose was already bought. This deal with Saab could be for the necessary subsystems.

Was it confirmed to be replaced by another aircraft or by another Erieye SAAB aircraft?
As far as i know we had some parts and maintenance issues with the supplier after those attacks and it got worst with those hangings etc. I may be missing something here. You have tagged the BOSS already and you too are here so i would take it as an opportunity to update myself on this issue

Saab Arieye is less capable compare to ZDK-03. Smaller, less payload, less loiter time and a less powerful radar.

Why would PAF turn back to buy an expensive platform when they used the same money to buy another ZDK-03?
