Today, Saab has finalized an agreement with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the supply of a third GlobalEye airborne surveillance and command aircraft to Sweden. The contract value is approximately SEK 2.6 billion, with deliveries scheduled between 2024 and 2029.
This acquisition is based on an option included in Saab’s agreement with FMV from June 2022, which encompassed two GlobalEye units and options for two additional aircraft. The Swedish designation for GlobalEye is S 106.
