Saab has received an order to support algorithm development and evaluation for an airborne Active Electrically Scanned Array (AESA) radar under development for South Korea’s effort to build an indigenous fighter aircraft.
The radar development programme is being led by the Korean Agency for Defence Development (ADD).
Under the $15 million order Saab will work in cooperation with ADD and its contractual partner LIG Nex1, a Seoul-based company that develops and produces a wide range of advanced precision electronic systems.
The Republic of Korea has a long-term ambition to develop a domestic fighter aircraft, including relevant avionic equipment such as AESA radar.
Anders Carp, head of business area surveillance at Saab, said: ‘Republic of Korea is a valued partner and we are proud to be part of the airborne AESA radar development programme.'This further proves our position as the leading provider and partner to develop the latest fighter aircraft technology and sub systems. One of our objectives is to partner with Republic of Korean industry and government to support the development of a domestic fighter.’
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.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
