OSLO, July 27 (Reuters) – Saab has received an order for two GlobalEye surveillance aircraft from a country in the Middle East region worth 10.1 billion Swedish crowns ($1.04 billion), with deliveries in 2030, the Swedish company said on Monday.
GlobalEye aircraft have active and passive sensors that provide long-range real-time detection and identification of objects in the air, at sea and over land, enabling situational awareness and early discovery of threats, according to Saab.
“The increasing international interest in GlobalEye reflects its effectiveness and reliability in modern air defence operations,” Saab CEO Micael Johansson said in a statement.
No further information regarding the order or the customer will be provided, the company added.
