Pakistan to buy six Saab airborne surveillance systems
After some years of negotiation, Pakistan has signed a provisional contract with Saab to procure an airborne early warning system.

After some years of negotiation, Pakistan has signed a provisional contract with Saab to procure an airborne early warning system. It will be based on the Saab 2000 twin-turboprop airliner carrying a strut-mounted Ericsson Microwave Systems Erieye radar above the aircraft’s spine. The contract is worth SEK 8.3 billion ($1 billion), of which Saab will receive two-thirds and Ericsson Microwave one-third. According to Saab CEO Åke Svensson, “There are a number of outstanding issues that remain to be resolved until a final contract is in place.”
