The software will facilitate rapid exchange of command, control and surveillance information between the Saab 2000 AEW&C aircraft, and command and control centres on the ground.

LinkPRO software provides a custom configurable data link processor for enabling tactical data link (TDL) communication solutions in military communications platforms.

The software received under the contract will be fitted on the aircraft for delivery to an undisclosed customer in the Middle East.
