Saab will present its portfolio of products and systems (air, land and sea) at the Aero India show, which will take place in Bangalore from 20–24 February 2019.
Saab is pitching its Gripen to the Indian forces as the fighter that has the minimum flight hour cost and the maximum operational availability (while comparing it with F-16, F-18, F-35, Rafale and Eurofighter). Saab emphasises the cost efficiency with ‘true transfer of technology and a comprehensive industrial partnership.’
“Aero India 2019 comes as the Indian Air Force evaluates new fighters for its future airpower needs. We are displaying the Gripen E mission simulator which clearly demonstrates how Gripen, the most advanced multi-role fighter aircraft in the world, maximises operational effect in the future battlespace. We are also proud to present a full scale Gripen E along with the game-changing Meteor and the precision attack Taurus KEPD missiles,” says Mats Palmberg, Vice President, Industrial Partnerships, Saab, and Head of Gripen India Campaign.
“Saab brings ready-for-tomorrow defence and security solutions that are always customised to the needs of India’s armed forces. We have a long relationship with the Indian Air Force, HAL and many other public and private sector entities involved in aerospace for India. At Aero India 2019 we showcase our latest technologies that are transforming defence and security planning, military deployment, defence economics and future force readiness,” says Ola Rignell, Chairman and Managing Director, Saab India Technologies.
