16 July 2020: Saab has signed a support agreement with the United Arab Emirates regarding the advanced airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) solution GlobalEye. The agreement is valid between 2020 and 2022, with an order value of 144.9 MUSD. The agreement covers support and maintenance for the airborne surveillance system GlobalEye. The support and maintenance will be executed locally in the United Arab Emirates.
Saab had delivered its first GlobalEye early-warning plane to the United Arab Emirates during the 2019 Dubai Air Show. The GlobalEye provides air; maritime and ground surveillance in a single solution combining a powerful new extended range radar with the ultra-long range Global 6000/6500 jet aircraft from Bombardier. The GlobalEye is perfectly suited to fulfil the most demanding operational requirements. Particularly since it has the ability to detect low-observable air targets in heavy clutter and jamming conditions and also can detect and track maritime targets out to the elevated horizon and small jet-ski or RIB sized vessels at very long distances.
