Saab talks up GlobalEye prospects

摘要

AFM was at Saab s Linkoeping production facility for the roll-out of the new GlobalEye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft on February 23. Nowadays the unveiling of any new military aircraft is a significant event and this 'swing-role surveillance system' clearly boasts some impressive capabilities. With the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as the launch customer, the company was not surprisingly tight-lipped about many aspects of the programme, including the planned first flight and delivery schedule.
