Dubai, UAE: At the Dubai Airshow 2025, Saab is exhibiting a wide range of systems designed to strengthen air power and national security. The company’s stand 945 provides visitors the opportunity to learn how its technology aims to make people and society safer.
Highlighting solutions such as GlobalEye and the Gripen E fighter, Saab describes them as force multipliers for operational air power superiority. Saab will also serve as a gold sponsor at the Dubai International Air Chiefs’ Conference.
A model of the Gripen E is being displayed on the Dubai stand for the first time, with Saab noting that the aircraft is built to handle evolving and advanced future threats. According to the company, the design supports success and survivability in a shifting global environment.
Saab calls GlobalEye as the world’s most advanced AEW&C solution and a strategic national asset for peace, crisis and conflict. The system, which first entered service with the UAE Air Force and Air Defence, provides simultaneous air, maritime and ground surveillance in one platform.
In addition, Saab is also showcasing Coast Control Radar and DeployNet, both developed through cooperation with the UAE’s Tawazun Council for Defence Enablement. Visitors can learn how these systems support protection of waterways and secure communications for military operations by speaking with staff at the stand.
“Now more than ever, protecting the sovereignty of airspace is foremost in the minds of many. Saab’s expertise in airborne and ground systems that protect and defend national airspace are central to our Dubai Airshow presence. Our solutions contribute significantly to national security and will be very much part of our discussions with potential customers. We are committed to our partners in the region and look forward to meeting our customers and engaging with stakeholders from the UAE and beyond,” said Heléne Bittmann, Managing Director of Saab in the UAE.
Also on display, the Giraffe 1X multifunctional radar demonstrates its simultaneous air surveillance, ground based air defence and drone detection capabilities. The system helps create time to act during fast-paced operational scenarios, says Saab.
Further showcasing its civil and military digital tower family, including the Deployable Digital Tower designed for rapid set-up, Saab states that the tower can be mission ready within an hour and controlled remotely from a secure location or a centralised facility hundreds of miles away, improving safety for deployed personnel.
Saab’s Arexis Electronic Warfare system for Gripen E and Eurofighter EK, along with countermeasure systems that detect and counter hostile weapon systems are other highlighted technologies being displayed at the Dubai Airshow.
