Finmeccanica and Saab have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to provide electronic warfare systems support, initially targeted at customers of the latter's Gripen fighter. The companies will look to support Gripen customers in their use and exploitation of electronic warfare (EW) systems, says Mark Hewer, vice-president of EW Operational Support (EWOS) for Finmeccanica's Airborne and Space Systems division. "EWOS is capable of supporting Finmeccanica and non-Fin-meccanica electronic warfare equipment," he tells Flight International. However, he adds: "the initial co-operation with Saab is more likely to focus on Gripen-related programmes".
