The GlobalEye multi-sensor airborne early warning/multirole surveillance program is “on schedule” in the build-up to its entry into service with the UAE Air Force and Air Defence (AFAD), which is slated for April 2020, Saab has reported. The UAE became the launch customer for the GlobalEye just over three years ago, announcing an initial deal for two of the aircraft at the Dubai air show in November 2015. A third was subsequently added during the IDEX show in February 2017.
