Gripen E is a fully NATO-interoperable multi-role fighter tailored for demanding operational requirements in the 21st century Network-Centric Warfare environment. It made its maiden flight in 2017. Gripen E has unrivalled role change capabilities for tactical flexibility. It carries the latest weapons and stores, including the IRIS-T and Meteor Air-to-Air missiles, a variety of Air-to-Surface weapons such as the RBS-15 Mk4/F, multiple GBU variants and racks for Small Diameter Bombs. An entirely new highly sophisticated modular avionics architecture and advanced software techniques combined with advanced Human Machine Collaboration (HMC) and embedded Fighter Intelligence deliver new war fighting capabilities. The sensors suite includes an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) based radar and an Infra-Red Search and Track (IRST) sensor and a cutting-edge Electronic Warfare (EW) and self-protection capabilities. Gripen E is the single seat variant and Gripen F is the two-seat variant. Gripen E tail number 4100 (formally designated 6001 when operated in Sweden) pictured above is the first Gripen E being operated at the GFTC and is being used as a development platform to test, evaluate and expand the capabilities of the Gripen E/F for operation by the Brazilian Air Force.

 


The Flight Test and Verification department forms a part of Saab Aeronautics and is based in Linköping, Sweden. The Flight Test organization of Saab was founded in 1939, and the first flight took place in 1940 when a flight test was performed with a B17 bomber aircraft. Ever since, Flight Test has flown more than 20 different aircraft versions, spanning from passenger aircraft to the most recent multi-role fighters. Flight Test is responsible for test and evaluation of prototypes, modified aircraft and production aircraft through ground-, simulator- and flight testing. Flight Test holds responsibility for Flight Operations and Continuing Airworthiness. The department is also supporting the development and design of the aircraft as well as marketing activities. Flight Test operates a number of Gripen aircraft, including Gripen C/D and Gripen E/F plus an SK60 Jet trainer.
