On November 4, Saab conducted the first flight of its new Electronic Attack Jammer Pod (EAJP). The pod was mounted under the wing of a JAS 39D Gripen two-seater for the trial flight from the company’s Linköping plant. During the sortie, the EAJP’s interface with the aircraft—both hardware and software—was tested, as were cockpit control and monitoring systems.
