Saab has announced that it has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for maintenance of the Erieye airborne radar system. The order, announced 5 June, 2012, has a value of SEK 125 million.
The Swedish Air Force has been an Erieye operator since 1997. The contract covers services for the Swedish Erieye-system (Airborne Surveillance and Control, ASC890) between 2012 and 2014; and will see Saab carry out work to provide technical support for the unit operations, and research and development for the ASC890 sensor and command and control system.
The sensor and command and control system provide access to a detailed situational awareness that can be used for a number of missions, including border surveillance, rescue operations and for tackling terrorism and organised crime.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
