Saab aeronautics business area senior vice-president and head Jonas Hjelm said: “This order of support gives both us and FMV the possibility to ensure continued efficient air operations with Gripen for the coming year.”

The current deal exercises a contractual option within the framework of a previously signed agreement, which was signed by the company with FMV in May last year.

The original agreement included the provision of performance-based technical support and maintenance for the Saab-built Gripen C/D jet.

“Gripen C/D is a new-generation, multi-role fighter aircraft that is capable of conducting a wide range of air-to-air, air-to-surface and reconnaissance missions.”

Work on the project will be performed at the company’s manufacturing facilities in Linköping, Arboga, Gothenburg, Järfälla, Växjö and Östersund in Sweden. Delivery of the aircraft is slated to be carried out next year.

Equipped with the latest technology and advanced weapon systems, Gripen C/D is a new-generation, multi-role fighter aircraft that is capable of conducting a wide range of air-to-air, air-to-surface and reconnaissance missions.

Last month, the FMV submitted a proposal to offer a fleet of eight fully Nato-interoperable Gripen C/D aircraft integrated with advanced MS20 configuration to the Bulgarian Air Force.
