Saab Reveals New Decoy Missile for Gripen
Saab’s offering to 芬兰 includes advanced Electronic Warfare systems, comprising of a newly developed Electronic Attack Jammer Pod and a decoy missile system.
Saab’s offering to 芬兰 for the HX fighter procurement includes both the fighter jet 鹰狮E/F and the GlobalEye 空气borne Early Warning and Control System.
As part of Gripen’s E/F Electronic Warfare capability, Saab now reveals the development of a new decoy missile system, the Lightweight 空气-launched Decoy Missile. The decoy missile and the new Electronic Attack Jammer Pod, which Saab started flight testing in 2019, will ensure that Finnish pilots will be protected from enemy radars and missiles.
The new decoy missile will be a highly capable stand-in jammer for the most demanding missions. It will act as a force multiplier as it reduces the number of missiles and aircraft required to complete a mission. The decoy missile can jam or create false targets for acquisition, 跟踪, fire control and airborne radars.
“Our offering to 芬兰, combining 鹰狮E/F and GlobalEye as force multipliers, will protect 芬兰’s people and borders, by delivering both comprehensive situational awareness and a true deterrence effect.
“The decoy missile, that we present today, will constitute a strong addition to 鹰狮E/F’s built-in electronic attack capabilities.The payload of the new decoy missile is to a large extent developed in 芬兰 and this will strengthen our offer to 芬兰 even further,” says Jonas Hjelm, Senior Vice President and Head of Saab Business Area Aeronautics.
The development of the new decoy missile means that Saab will expand its Saab Technology Centre in Tampere, 芬兰 with more highly skilled employees. Saab has already established a deep technical partnership with Aalto University, where more than 10 research projects are ongoing within the areas of advanced sensors and artificial intelligence.
