The Saab approach to industrial co-operation
and successful technology transfer (ToT) is
based on extensive interaction between the
partners. This interaction aims at long-term
industrial expansion and GDP growth as well
as technology and spin-off effects, not ending
with the expiration of Saab’s contractual
obligations and not restricted to the current
application of technology. Being a country
well known for its high-tech innovations, we
seek international co-operation to reach the
global market.

India’s large airspace boundaries and its
potential threats demands an air defence and
air combat fleet that will offer operational
dominance along its borders with five
countries and a 7,500 plus kilometre
coastline over the next four decades. The

fusion, including world-leading new-generation
weapons integration, ensures a high kill ratio in
any engagement.
