GRIPEN FOR INDIA

TAILOR-MADE

Saab is delighted to offer Gripen IN to India, a variant of the next-generation Gripen, which is the world’s most technologically advanced multi-role fighter aircraft, with futuristic warfare technologies developed especially for India. Gripen employs only the very best and latest technologies from Sweden and the rest of the world.

Features

Netcentric Fighter

A truly network-centred, next-generation, multi-role fighter with the world’s most highly developed secure and multi-frequency data link.

Superior Sensor Fusion

Latest-generation avionic mission system with high computation power operating on ultra-fast digital databuses.

Smart Digital Cockpit

An advanced fully digital cockpit layout with large colour, multi-functional displays (MFD) and hands-on-throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) provides the pilot with superior situation awareness as a combat advantage.

“See first – Hit first”

A combination of low radar, IR and visual signatures, along with state-of-the-art AESA radar, an IR search and track (IRST) sensor and superior sensor fusion, including world-leading new-generation weapons integration, ensures a high kill ratio in any engagement.

Outstanding Agility

The world’s most agile fighter for close combat. A combination of advanced aerodynamic layout, utilizing a combined close-coupled canard-delta configuration and a triplex, digital fly-by-wire flight control system (FCS). Winning dog-fight capability in combination with the latest generation of high off-bore sight missiles and helmet mounted display (HMD).

High Operational Tempo

Gripen’s high operational availability, rapid turnaround and minimal support requirements enables sustained high sortie rates, providing commanders with the ability to meet the most demanding operations with minimum resources.

Affordability

Gripen IN achieves the lowest operating cost of any modern fighter. This is accomplished by combining advanced system design, high technology, modern commercial off the shelf (COTS) components and the highly reliable and powerful General Electric F414G engine.

Future Development

The Gripen is built to be adaptable to changing threats and operational requirements that a modern air force faces.

Power Plant

The engine, a General Electric F414G turbofan, is a modular, fuel-efficient low-bypass ratio, afterburning turbofan with the latest technology. With a thrust rating of more than 22,000lb (98kN), the F414G produces 20% more thrust than Gripen’s current Volvo Aero RM12 power plant, and will enable super-cruise performance of Mach 1.1 with air-to-air weapons.

Radar

With the world’s only 2nd generation AESA radar, ES 05 Raven, Gripen IN will secure its advantages in situational awareness. The ES 05 Raven developed by Selex-Galileo, together with Saab Microwave, is the only fighter radar on the market with a moving swash plate allowing cover of scan angles up to ±100°. The new radar will improve all aspects compared to legacy radars, such as improved target tracking, wide field of regard, mode flexibility, increased detection range, improved electronic support measurements and increased operational availability together with lower life cycle costs.
