Saab Seeks European Customers for Aerospace Products

Underestimated by many, Sweden’s Saab punches above its weight and believes Farnborough is the perfect stage for it to pitch products.

Saab has a program to develop and produce the RBS15 NG (top), a new-generation version of the air-to-surface missile. The new-design JAS 39F Gripen (left) is “much more than just a two-seat E-model.” And the new Arexis EW pod (above) provides electronic stealth with minimal integration issues.

Although sometimes not thought of as such by the U.S. defense giants, Sweden’s Saab (Outside Exhibit 14) is a major player in the world military aerospace market. Moreover, in the present day, Europe is one of the most important regions for the company, “which is one of the reasons we have chosen to showcase our air dominance product here at Farnborough,” said Saab’s head of market area–Europe, Magnus Lewis-Olsson, who also runs the company’s London office.

One of the most well-known of these products is the JAS 39E next-generation variant of the Gripen fighter.
