Saab and CAE have signed a new global cooperation agreement aimed at developing advanced training systems for Saab’s airborne early warning platforms, including the GlobalEye surveillance aircraft.
The agreement was concluded during the Swedish Royal Visit to Canada and is presented by both firms as a step forward in their long-standing relationship. It brings together Saab’s work in multi-domain sensing, command and control and AEW integration with CAE’s simulation and training expertise.
The companies say the goal is to create high-fidelity training environments that mirror the complexity of modern airborne surveillance missions for GlobalEye operators worldwide.
Saab President and CEO Micael Johansson said in the announcement that the arrangement reinforces the company’s long term approach to AEW capability. He stated “This partnership strengthens our commitment to GlobalEye customers and reinforces our strategy to deliver world-leading airborne early warning capabilities with best-in-class training. CAE is a trusted partner with unmatched expertise of training solutions, and together we will increase the operational readiness for Airborne Early Warning platforms users around the world.”
CAE President and CEO Matt Bromberg said the agreement reflects a growing need for integrated partnerships. He said “The agreement between Saab and CAE sets the stage for a global AEW&C training franchise anchored in Canada. Today’s announcement reflects years of trust and joint success with Saab and responds to an evolving geopolitical landscape that demands stronger, integrated partnerships.”
