RUAG receives series production contract of payload mountings for Gripen E/F fighter aircraft

Swedish defence and security company Saab has awarded RUAG a contract for the series production of payload mountings for the Gripen E/F fighter aircraft to Sweden and Brazil. The contract is worth more than CHF80m in total. This further strengthens the solid industrial partnership between Saab and Swiss company RUAG and secures their long-term collaboration. Payload mountings are devices that carry additional fuel tanks, reconnaissance systems or guided missiles. They are complex technological components which contain both electronic and mechanical systems. They must meet the highest standards in terms of aerodynamics and resilience.
