Keywords: Gripen, Saab, BAe Systems, Military
SAAB-BAe Systems Gripen recently submitted its response to the Austrian government's request for information (RFI) for new fighter aircraft to fulfill its national defence requirements.
The response is based on the supply of up to 30 new Gripen four-generation, multi-role/swingrole fighters, supported by an innovative finance package and offset program.
"Saab Aerospace, which manufactures and markets Gripen Internationally in partnership with BAE Systems of the UK, has developed a close understanding of Austrian defence operations and requirements since signing a contract to supply the Draken fighter in 1985", stated Roger Lantz, who heads the Gripen campaign in Austria.
