The Swedish defense firm will deliver airborne early warning aircraft to an unnamed Middle East customer by 2030.
Saab announced a 10.1 billion Swedish kronor ($1.0 billion) order for two GlobalEye surveillance aircraft from an undisclosed Middle East buyer. Deliveries are set for 2030, reinforcing the company’s position in airborne early warning and control systems.
The contract follows prior defense deals in the region, though the customer’s identity remains confidential. Saab’s GlobalEye platform combines radar, sensors, and command capabilities, competing with systems from Boeing and Northrop Grumman.
No immediate market reaction was disclosed, but the order underscores growing demand for advanced surveillance technology in the Middle East.
