Saab Starts Work on Gripen C/D Development
Saab recently signed a contract with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the support and maintenance services for the JAS 39 Gripen C/D fighter aircraft. The order will ensure continued operation and a cost-effective solution regarding the maintenance and availability of the system. The order is reportedly valued at SEK 308 million.
The order includes development, studies, and testing regarding rear maintenance of JAS 39 Gripen C/D, development of a packaging concept, and studies on how, from a maintenance perspective, Gripen C/D and Gripen E can coexist in the fleets. The order also includes avionics computers.
The order is a call-off of an option within the framework of a previous agreement with FMV relating to ensuring the continued operation and capability-enhancing measures for JAS 39 Gripen C/D. The agreement was communicated on 16 December 2022.
In 2023, two additional services were ordered with a total value of approximately SEK 220 million. These services include the integration of the target designator pod LDP15 (Laser Guided Pod) on JAS 39 Gripen C/D, as well as the procurement of related support systems and maintenance equipment. The work is underway and being carried out at Saab facilities in Linköping and Arboga .
