Saab’s Gripen E - The Game Changer

09.09.2022, 11:30

This year at NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days, Saab will present its new Gripen E-series fighter aircraft system which could allow the Czech Air Force to gain reliable fighter system, easy to operate and maintain and able to deliver on all the missions that are ahead of Czech Air Force until 2070+. Visitors will be able to see the capabilities of the aircraft at a dynamic display which will also feature an older version of the Gripen C aircraft.

Designed to defeat any adversary and made for forward-thinking air forces, Gripen E incorporates cutting-edge technologies, the latest systems, sensors, weapons and pods to ensure combat advantage, delivering air superiority in highly contested environments. Silent networking and total sensor fusion across a tactical air unit to blind and confuse the enemy. One aircraft active, the others go passive. Together the team gets the first missile launch opportunity and the first kill. Gripen E re-defines the rules of the game. 

It has the powerful GE F414G engine, great range and the ability to carry an impressive payload with its ten hard-points. It also has a new AESA-radar, InfraRed Search and Track System (IRST), highly advanced electronic warfare and communication systems. 

Aircraft avoids radar detection by acting silent or suppressing enemy capabilities. Its advanced electronic warfare system, similar to an electronic shield, allows disruption of the enemy’s ability to function effectively. This can be used either to assist in destruction of enemy assets or simply to reduce the enemy’s ability to act. Operations are secured by ease of maintenance and high availability. It can operate from dispersed road bases to preserve maximum force readiness in case of the home air base being not operational.

With Gripen E it is easy to embrace the speed of technological change. The new avionics system in Gripen E allows to make software updates within hours. Which means that Gripen E’s avionic system has forever made “fighter generations” a thing of the past.

Gripen E re-defines the rules of the game!
