Saab has received an order for two GlobalEye aircraft from a country in the Middle East region for a delivery in 2030.
“This order underscores our commitment to providing customers with mission-proven, multi-domain AEW&C capability. The increasing international interest in GlobalEye reflects its effectiveness and reliability in modern air defence operations”, says Micael Johansson, President and CEO of Saab.
According to Saab, GlobalEye is an advanced multi-domain AEW&C solution with an array of active and passive sensors that provide long-range detection and identification of objects in the air, at sea and over land. By providing real-time information to joint forces, GlobalEye enables enhanced situational awareness of the surrounding areas and early detection of threats.
"Due to the nature of the industry, circumstances concerning the customer and national security interests, no further information regarding this order or the customer will be provided," Saab said.
The GlobalEye was last year offered as a replacement for South Korea’s fleet of four Boeing E-737 Peace Eye AEW&C aircraft.The final tender featured a two-way runoff between L3Harris and Saab, with L3Harris eventually selected.
