Saab secures SEK 10.1 billion GlobalEye order from Middle Eastern customer

Share

Saab has received an order worth SEK 10.1 billion (EUR 910 million) for two GlobalEye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft from an undisclosed customer in the Middle East, with deliveries scheduled for 2030.

The GlobalEye system combines active and passive sensors to provide long-range detection and tracking of aerial, maritime and ground targets, delivering real-time situational awareness and early warning capabilities for military operations.

Saab said the contract reflects growing international demand for the mission-proven platform, which is designed to enhance air defence and multi-domain surveillance. Owing to customer confidentiality and national security considerations, the company did not disclose the identity of the buyer or provide further details about the agreement.
