Bombardier Defense recently marked a significant milestone by delivering the sixth Global 6000 aircraft to Saab, the Swedish defense supplier. Saab will now undertake the task of transforming this aircraft into its cutting-edge Airborne Early Warning and Control solution known as GlobalEye, destined to serve in the Swedish Air Force. This collaboration between Bombardier and Saab exemplifies their exceptional capabilities in providing advanced solutions to nations worldwide.
The GlobalEye programme, a result of Canadian and Swedish innovation synergy, combines Saab's renowned radar, command, control, and communication systems with the exceptional Global 6000 aircraft from Bombardier. This integration creates a highly efficient and agile multi-domain airborne surveillance solution. The Global family of aircraft is widely valued for its unmatched combination of speed, range, and endurance, making it the preferred choice for various government defense requirements globally.
Jean-Christopher Gallagher, the Executive Vice-President of Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defense, expressed pride in the company's internationally recognised jets, which have become go-to platforms for major defense contractors like Saab. The Global-aircraft family continues to prove its worth in multi-mission, surveillance and VIP transport scenarios, consistently meeting customers' expectations for its most demanding mission needs. Gallagher also emphasised the collaboration with strong partners, like Saab, in creating next-generation defense solutions worldwide.
This latest addition to the Swedish Air Force fleet showcases Bombardier's long-standing expertise in customizing platforms to suit the unique requirements of various military services. Their adaptability and experience continue to make them a trusted choice for military forces with specific mission characteristics.
