Saab has announced an order for two GlobalEye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft from an undisclosed customer in the Middle East. The contract is valued at SEK 10.1 billion (approximately £780 million), with deliveries scheduled for 2030. The GlobalEye, based on the Bombardier Global 6000/6500 business jet, features Saab's Erieye Extended Range radar and provides multi-domain surveillance across air, maritime, and land domains. Saab CEO Micael Johansson highlighted the system's effectiveness in modern air defense operations. The United Arab Emirates is the launch customer for GlobalEye, and Sweden has also ordered the aircraft under the designation S 106. The new order adds to growing international interest in airborne early warning systems for long-range surveillance and command and control.
