The 9AIR C4I system is designed to offer users control over air and space domains, enhancing situational awareness and communication capabilities that are essential for making timely and effective decisions in combat scenarios. 

The system has a range of options, from the full-scale 9Air Tactical Operation Command and Control System (9Air TOCCS) to the more compact 9Air Compact C2, which offers a simplified Link16 solution.  

Saab’s 9AIR portfolio also includes the 9AIR Trainer for advanced C4I operator training and the 9CCIS for round-the-clock operational planning, resource management, and evaluation.  

The 9AIR command and control information system (CCIS) delivers a unified operational picture of the entire battle theatre, complete with meteorological data, chat functions, and customisable interfaces.
