Swedish defence giant Saab demonstrated technologies that power its multi-role fighter aircraft Gripen E at the Aero India 2023 show. A full-scale replica of Gripen E and a Gripen F cockpit simulator was on display at the five-day air show and exhibition.
Senior officials said Saab would engage with the Indian industry toward building partnerships for “an industrial future based on the premise of Make in India.”
The ground combat exhibits at the event included Carl Gustaf M4, a man-portable multi-role weapon system, and NLAW, a next-generation shoulder-launched anti-tank weapon.
Giraffe 1X, a light-weight 3D radar capable of short-range air surveillance and ground-based air defence, and Saab Lightweight Torpedo, a new anti-submarine warfare solution, were also displayed.
Saab is setting up a manufacturing facility for Carl Gustaf in India, to produce the Carl Gustaf M4 for the Indian Armed Forces and components for users of the system around the world.
