Embraer and Saab discuss exporting Brazilian fighters from 2023

Citat:Brazilian planemaker Embraer SA and Swedish partner Saab AB hope to devise a plan by June for exporting the Gripen fighter jet from the South American country beginning in 2023, a senior Embraer official said on Tuesday.

Jackson Schneider, the head of Embraer's defense unit, said deliveries of 36 Gripen NG single-engine jets to the Brazilian Air Force from a joint assembly plant in the country would begin in 2018. It could wrap up as early as 2023, opening up export capacity.

Britanci imaju udeo i u KC-390 koji oni isto hoce, odnosno partner su Brazila u tom poslu.

Logicno bi bilo da Britanci dozvole prodaju jer sigurno znaju dosta vise o Gripenu nego o kinezima.

Ponuda za modernizaciju postojecih radara, AESA ne moze lako u postojece C/D.

Citat:Disclosed by company officials on 27 April, the Mk4 modification involves the replacement of two line-replaceable units in the back section of the mechanically-scanned radar. This provides a new exciter/receiver module with digital waveform generation and a new radar processing unit, along with updated software.

As a result of these updates, the PS-05/A Mk4 gains a claimed increase in detection range of at least 100%, and this is expected to rise to 150% for a high-altitude air-to-air engagement scenario by 2017, Saab says. Such a boost will enable the Gripen to capitalise on the full firing envelope for the Raytheon AIM-120 AMRAAM and MBDA Meteor air-to-air missiles.

The enhancement also offers an increased capability to detect helicopters and targets with a low radar cross section, as well as improved air-to-ground performance.

Saab says the self-funded development has already been flight-tested, during campaigns conducted in December 2014 and last month. The adaptation – which retains the PS-05/A’s existing front-end hardware – makes use of commercial off-the-shelf equipment, and systems developed in support of some of its other radar programmes.

“The aircraft modifications needed have been kept to the absolute minimum, and you can switch between Mk3 and 4 hardware configurations easily within the aircraft,” says Jan Qvillberg, head of the company’s fighter radar and datalinks product area.

Citat:The C/D-version fighter cannot currently be equipped with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, without first requiring major structural modifications to accommodate systems to provide increased power and cooling capacity.

Svedjani dovode u punu operativnu spremnost i dve eskadrile koje trenutno koriste samo za obuku.
Citat:
Published on 24 April, the new framework document sets a target to have all six current Gripen units attain full operational status. At the moment two of the squadrons – based with the F7 wing at Satenas – are focused on delivering pilot training services only.

Speaking at the F17 wing’s forward operating base on Gotland on 28 April, Swedish air force chief of staff Marcus Björkgren said the service has begun assessing the implications of the decision, which affects its fleet of almost 100 Gripen C/Ds.

“We will have to focus a little extra to get those [training] squadrons to a real operational level,” he says. The air force is likely to move to a position where all units flying the Gripen will be capable of meeting air defence and defensive counter-air requirements, with some also being trained to conduct other missions.

Opcija za jos 10 novih E

Citat:The government says there is also an opening to potentially boost the air force’s Gripen E fleet by a further 10 aircraft – to 70 – although the current five-year plan does not including funding for such an expanded acquisition. Deliveries under its existing 60-unit order will commence during 2019, with the new-generation type expected to achieve initial operating capability in 2023 and the fleet to be fully operational three years later.
