Saab and FMV Sign Contract for new Gripen Launch System
"Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the development and integration of a new launch system for Gripen C/D and Gripen E.
The order, valued at approximately SEK 400 million, was placed during the first quarter.
The order includes the development and integration of a new launch system for air-to-air missiles and countermeasure pods on Gripen C/D and Gripen E. The contract also includes options for subsequent series orders of launcher systems.
The launchers can be integrated with existing variants of weapon pylons and can carry all Gripen air-to-air missiles.
“The integration of the new launch system is an important component for ensuring the continued high availability of the Gripen system. After delivery, maintenance of the launch systems will be performed in Sweden, which further contributes to a secure supply of defence equipment for our customers,” says Åsa Schöllin, head of the Gripen Sustainment business unit.
The launcher is mounted to the aircraft’s weapon pylons and has a sophisticated connection between the aircraft and the weapons mounted on the launcher."

New made system for JAS 39 Gripen
FMV places an order for the development and integration of a new low-level system for hunting robots and anti-vehicle traps for the JAS 39C / D and JAS 39E fighter aircraft. The order value is approximately SEK 400 million.
The order for Saab AB includes the development and integration of a new low-level system for hunting robots and anti-vehicle traps on JAS 39C / D and JAS 39E. The contract also contains options for later ordering of hardware deliveries of the awnings themselves.
The aircraft is a separate system that is mounted on the beams under the fighter aircraft and contains an advanced connection between the aircraft itself and the weapons that are mounted on the aircraft.
FMV's requirements include the aircraft and weapons with requirements for rapid assembly of robots and traps. The order applies to awnings for the two beam variants that are available on JAS 39. The awnings will work for current and planned hunting robots and countermeasure traps on JAS 39.
The order enables maintenance and repairs in Sweden, which increases the availability of the system.
