3. TODAY’S GRIPEN IS ALREADY
TOMORROW’S FIGHTER
We continue to upgrade and enhance the current
Gripen generation. It is already the world’s most
flexible and adaptable fighter design.
Addition of operational Meteor capability in
2014/2015 makes Gripen the most formidable
counter air platform in service, anywhere.
MS20 will further expand its range of operational
capabilities, not only Meteor but also SDB,
enhanced EW, enhanced radar modes…
All development experience feeds into Gripen E
and vice versa – the generations evolve around
each other.

8. ’FIFTH GENERATION’ VERSUS THE GRIPEN
Narrow-band stealth through fixed, unadaptable
airframe design.
Weapons load severely compromised by design.
Providers rigidly controlled.
Airframe design compromises guarantee sub-
optimal flight performance.
Minimal EW provision.
Connectivity with any other forces unknown.
System control conceded to foreign
government/corporation.
Massive, complicated, expensive and unreliable
logistical footprint at large facilities, probably not
under your control.
Unbelievable acquisition and operational costs.
Balanced signature with multi-role, adaptable
airframe.
Total freedom in weapons choice, supplier,
integration and configuration.
No engine/airframe design compromises,
performance drove the design.
Maximum EW provision.
Connectivity with all other forces, air, land and
sea: guaranteed.
National sovereignty guaranteed with handover
of full software ownership.
Tiny operational and support footprint from
warbase/roadbase if required, with full
ownership and oversight.
Unbelievable acquisition and operational costs.

9. A WORD ON…
COUNTER-STEALTH
Stealthy fighters are not invisible.
- just more difficult to detect at certain RF frequencies.
Low signatures at VHF/UHF frequencies are very
difficult to achieve.
The limitations of ‘stealthy’ design, particularly when it
comes to rigid, airframe shaping, are now well
understood. It’s not a secret and technology (different
radars, better processing, sensor fusion) will defeat
stealth… it may already have.
We can see that advanced IR sensors fused with AESA
radars will be very useful for counter-stealth detection
and targeting, over significant ranges.

10. GRIPEN ON THE FUTURE
BATTLEFIELD
SCENARIO 1 – SILENT BATTLEFIELD
Combat and survival in the hostile RF arena
SCENARIO 2 – MULTI-ROLE 2.0
Deploy new weapons to maximum effect
SCENARIO 3 – DECENTRALISATION
Dispersed basing
Page 10

11. SCENARIO 1 – THE SILENT BATTLEFIELD
Hide and fight in a hostile, intense RF environment.
High-speed, flexible, secure and effectively unjammable datalinks allow a few
aircraft to provide the eyes for the many.
In datalinked, loose formations can provide co-operative targeting of weapons and
co-operative jamming over wide areas.
Gripen can rely on accurate target data from passive sensors
• IRST, passive radar, ESM
• Enablers
• Improved angular accuracy
• Enhanced sensitivity – detection range, LPI-modes
• Improved computational capacity – low FAR, LPI-modes, predictions
Aircraft connectivity provides protection from hostile passive sensors
• Operate in cloud, but maintain complete SA
• Silent behaviour
• Electronic emission control
Page 11

12. THE SILENT BATTLEFIELD
THE CHALLENGE:
STAY QUIET AND COVERT UNTIL YOU’RE READY TO STRIKE
You will need:
Active tactics with
passive sensors
– not simple stealth
New or enhanced
sensors and
datalinks
You will need:
Smart communication
between air land and sea,
remaining always undetected
and unjammed
Page 12

13. THE SILENT BATTLEFIELD
THE GRIPEN SOLUTION:
COVERT OPERATIONS AND ADVANCED SENSOR INTEGRATION
Gripen features:
State-of-the-art sensor
suite with aircraft
operating ‘nose cold’
Multi-sensor fusion and
control, from multiple
sources, shared on
‘fighter link’
Open, flexible platform
and balanced design
Ground-based and airborne
surveillance provides situational
awareness and target location
Smart, directional communication
between fighters and surveillance
Page 13

14. SCENARIO 2 – MULTI-ROLE 2.0
Multi-role aircraft with multi-functions weapons, supported by an advanced onboard
targeting sensor suite.
The future is… modular weapons
• Different seekers, fuzes, warheads -- swapped before each mission
• Development demands low-cost testing integration and manufacturing
The future is… multi-target weapons
• Same missile for DEAD and air-to-air
• Same missile for air-to-ground and anti-ship missions
The future is… intelligent weapons
• Communication between weapons
• Weapons with ESM and ECM, i.e. ’MALD with warhead’
• Weapons with sub-weapons– loitering cruise missile with multiple payloads
• ISR capability in the weapon
In a future where weapons capability will need to constantly evolve to meet new threats,
only Gripen provides an affordable path to rapid (and successful) integration of new
airborne weapons
Page 14

15. MULTI-ROLE 2.0
THE CHALLENGE:
BE PREPARED TO CARRY NEW PAYLOADS… THAT HAVEN’T BEEN INVENTED YET
You will need:
The ability to quickly and safely
integrate new payloads
Maximum envelope clearance at
minimum cost
A multirole platform that can fully
support evolving weapons and tactics
Airframe flexability to carry new and
challenging loads
Onboard sensors and systems that can
support new modes of operation
Page 15

16. MULTI-ROLE 2.0
THE GRIPEN SOLUTION:
FAST, EFFICIENT AND SAFE FUTURE PAYLOAD INTEGRATION
The flexible Gripen platform provides:
Proven speedy integration of
new payloads from multiple sources
Sovereign control of weapons options
and applications
Unrivalled multi-role and
multi-sensor fusion capabilities,
properly adapted to operators needs
A cost-efficient way to increase combat power
and survivability
Page 16

17. SCENARIO 3 – DECENTRALISATION
Flexible basing is the key to survivability. In a conflict, air bases are little more than
large, expensive targets.
Against a serious opponent, forces need to deploy to survive, but don’t want to
admit this.
Increasingly, air forces also need to deploy air power to areas where there is little
or no infrastructure.
Dispersed basing provides protection from attack and a highly flexible and
unpredictable response to aggressors.
Dispersed basing allows small air forces to cover wide areas and/or diverse terrain.
It gives commanders freedom of movement and the ability to act within a short
decision cycle.
Dispersed basing demands a mastery of secure comms and close datalink
integration.
Page 17

18. DECENTRALISATION
THE CHALLENGE:
SECURE YOUR AIRPOWER, AND YOUR NATION, AGAINST DETIRMINED ATTACK
Requirement:
Maximise effectiveness of available aircraft
Easily redeploy to alternate bases
Sustain operations from austere
locations
Rapidly reconfigure existing aircraft
Retain command and control
authority over all forces
Page 18

19. DECENTRALISATION
THE GRIPEN SOLUTION:
HIGHLY AVAILABLE, FAST-MOVING UNITS, ALTERNATE DEPLOYABILITY
Gripen features:
A high sortie rate over extended periods of operation
Very small logistic footprint
True multi-role capacity combined with very short
turnaround times
Reliable connectivity with other dispersed forces and
command authority
Page 19

20. IN BRIEF…
SCENARIO 1 – SILENT BATTLEFIELD
THE GRIPEN SOLUTION: Covert operations and advanced sensor integration.
Smart use of emitting and non-emitting sensors with datalinked tactics over a very wide
battlefront.
SCENARIO 2 – MULTI-ROLE 2.0
THE GRIPEN SOLUTION: Fast, efficient and safe future payload integration.
Without weapons fighters are worthless. Gripen keeps air forces future-proof by adapting
swiftly to new requirements.
SCENARIO 3 – DECENTRALISATION
THE GRIPEN SOLUTION: Highly available, fast-moving units, alternate deployability.
Stay on the move, stay alive and always be flexible for contingency ops.
