Saab has signed a teaming agreement with CAE to jointly pursue Canada’s future Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) program based on Saab’s GlobalEye platform.
“GlobalEye delivers cutting-edge multi-domain surveillance, offering long-range detection and advanced situational awareness across air, maritime, and land domains. We value the opportunity to further strengthen our partnership with CAE and to collaborate on the Canadian programme, which will also serve as a stepping stone for future opportunities,” President and CEO at Saab, Micael Johansson, stated.
The teaming agreement for Canada is a continuation of the partnership established by the Global Cooperation Agreement between Saab and CAE announced in November 2025. It reflects the companies’ shared ambition to deepen their collaboration and broaden the scope of cooperation across training and simulation.
Through this agreement, Saab further strengthens its offering for Canada’s AEW&C program by integrating CAE’s advanced experience in training. This collaboration will deliver fully integrated and scalable training and simulation solutions designed to enhance operational readiness and effectiveness for the Canadian Armed Forces.
“CAE’s world-class defence expertise will be critical to enabling a high-performance AEW&C capability for Canada,” CAE, President and Chief Executive Officer, Matt Bromberg, highlighted.
“Building on our longstanding collaboration and trust with Saab, this agreement reflects our shared commitment to delivering innovative, integrated solutions that strengthen operational performance and support Canada’s defence priorities.”
By working closely with CAE and leveraging Canadian experience, Saab aims to support the development of sovereign capability, drive innovation, and contribute to long-term growth within Canada’s aerospace and defence sector.
