Saab has completed the delivery of another GlobalEye Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This represents the fourth AEW&C aircraft supplied to the UAE in the past four years.

The handover took place on April 18, 2024, following Saab’s previous deliveries of three GlobalEye units to the UAE in 2020 and 2021.

“I am proud to celebrate the fourth delivery of our world-leading AEW&C solution GlobalEye to the UAE and to continue supporting its operational availability and mission success,” said Micael Johansson President and CEO of Saab in the company’s press release on Thursday (Apr.25). “The high delivery pace in the GlobalEye programme is a testament to our unique in-house capability which means we control the entire process, from development to integration.”

“The UAE has ordered a total of five GlobalEye aircraft from Saab, with the initial contract signed in 2015 and an order for two additional aircraft received in 2021,” he added.

GlobalEye is an advanced multi-domain AEW&C solution equipped with active and passive sensors for long-range detection and identification of airborne, maritime, and terrestrial objects. The system enhances situational awareness and facilitates early threat detection in various operational environments by providing real-time information to air, land, and naval units.
