Perhaps, but they could continue a LCA-track with indigenous weapons and joint ventures while adding another western fighter integrated with European and U.S weapons. In fact the Gripen will also come with a Brazilian weapons fit and Israeli avionics/helmet. That's one point, to buy an aircraft...

Gripen NG can co-exist with LCA as it has more capability and in fact depending on combat role it has capability more like Rafale or Super Hornet in terms of load and range. It carries 7 METEOR BVR-missiles while Rafale is planned to carry 4 to maximum 5 METEOR. And Tejas only has BVR-pylons for...

No orders have been placed. No orders have been cut. The government plan to order a first tranche of 40-60 Gripen NG during 2013. Saab is 80% non-Gripen and will produce and upgrade in support of the Gripen-system until 2042 by parliament decision. Saab is not going away anytime soon. The...

UAE bought two SwAF second hand Saab340-Erieye last year and these are in the process of being delivered. UAE bought these as interim solution and plan on a flyoff between more advanced solutions including Saab 2000 version in the future. Either they gave up on that fly-off idea for a...

Probably of positive interest for PAF. Saab Gets a Second Customer for Saab 2000 Erieye Airborne Early Warning (AEW) System Saab PR

The Hawkeye can't in any version scan 360 all at the same time, it acheives so called 360 by not having the fast refresh rate of a fixed system. If you have the dome rotating and spot a cruise missile... can you afford the many seconds it takes to get another update? No, so the E-2D method is to...

Can't in-flight refuel most smaller AEW's. Not on EMB-145 either. Not current Hawkeye, or new G-550 caews... and even with in-flight refueling (planned upgrade) the Hawkeye still struggles to reach the impressive 9.5H endurance of Saab 2000. The Saab 2000 has over 50% longer endurance than...

The radar scan-limitations is not bothering anyone other than amateur forum posters. The nearest rotodome competitors can't scan 360d radar all at the same time either. To focus energy they have to stop the dome and create larger blind spots since it's no longer refreshing the full 360...

Why even this obsession with the front/rear angle of the erieye radar? The ESM still detects and tracks anything that emits signals 360deg around the aircraft. Such as jeeps and drones using a comradio or a enemy aircraft or ship using his radar. In fact the SIGINT/ESM kit should not be...

It wasn't set like that. These type of projects doesn't work with such fixed schedules. PAF is launch customer and there was never any plan to make the Erieye's actually operational in the PAF this year. Once it arrives. there will be several months of additional testing and training. More...

Well... There is three PAF Saab 2000AEW&C flying around Sweden since a while back and the first one of these is acting as the reference aircraft with installed test equipment. When everything is verified to be functional to customer satisfaction whatever required adjustments will be...

I figured out that I can attach some jpg samples instead. The in-flight photos is some weeks ago and shot before the system trials that I mentioned. Getting the PAF scheme on is among the last stuff to do on the a/c.. but the wait will not be that long now. Other than that I suggest a email to...

Tried... but I haven't got that kind of post rights on this forum. You can probably email Saab Aerosystems and get some. There's a whole new set of pictures that was shot of Erieye a/c.

Recently the first PAF aircraft in the Saab Horizon Programme flew in Sweden with the full suite of mission systems onboard and with the radar and coms operative. PAF personnel onboard. Also Sweden's military in June took delivery of two upgraded Saab 340 which has 3 operator stations and...

Adding some info. Singapore and South Korea has bought ARTHUR even-though they already use the AN/TPQ-37/36 with a theoretically longer range. The main reason why Arthur is popular is the high speed and detection capability. It's much faster to report and more accurate than the AN/TPQ-37 and...

Hello guys, the RBS-23 BAMSE info can be updated with that grenade, mortar and artillery hunting capability has been added to the system so it can report these threats to other firing units in the network such as counter-artillery batteries. We had a operative exercise of this capability...
