Saab is showcasing a Full Scale Replica (FSR) of its Gripen E along with a Gripen E cockpit simulator at the ongoing airshow. The Swedish airframer has proposed its Gripen E for the Indian Air Force (IAF) requirement for 114 Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft (MRFA). “We look forward to wide ranging discussions with the Indian Air Force on our Gripen E offer. We will also be engaging with Indian industry for Make in India as well as for discussions on expanding our sourcing from Indian companies which have emerged as suppliers to the world’s foremost aerospace companies,” said Mats Palmberg, Chairman and Managing Director, Saab India.
The Saab offer for the Indian Air Force combines cost efficiency with true and extensive transfer of technology through a comprehensive industrial partnership. The Gripen E combines exceptional operational performance, a highly advanced networked warfare capability at a whole new level, superior sensor fusion and unique BVR features.
Saab is also displaying its Carl-Gustaf M4, which will be made in India at a manufacturing facility, Saab is establishing in Jhajhar, Haryana. “Aero India 2025 comes at a crucial juncture of global developments, leading to a greater focus on defence capabilities as well as on developing self-reliance along with the need for robust and modern technology. We are fully committed to supporting the Indian government’s Atmanirbhar approach to national defence capability. To that end, Saab is setting up a manufacturing facility for Carl-Gustaf M4 in India, further strengthening production in the country. The facility will support the production of Carl-Gustaf M4 for the Indian Armed Forces as well as components for users of the system around the world. Saab will also be partnering with Indian sub-suppliers and the products manufactured in the facility will fully meet the requirements of Make in India,” Palmberg added. The Carl-Gustaf system has been in service with the Indian Army since 1976.
