Saab’s fourth GlobalEye successfully completed its maiden flight
The fourth GlobalEye took to the skies from Saab’s airfield in Linköping (Sweden) on April 03, 2023 and performed several tests related to the aircraft’s capabilities.
“We are very satisfied with this successful first flight of another GlobalEye. This confirms that we have the infrastructure, the capabilities and the expertise necessary to support our customers with the most advanced AEW&C solution in a time frame that is unmatched in the market,” says Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab´s business area Surveillance.
GlobalEye is a modern multi-domain Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) solution with a suite of active and passive sensors that provide long-range detection and identification of objects in the air, at sea and on the ground.

By providing real-time information to air force, army and navy units, GlobalEye enables improved situational awareness in surrounding areas and early threat detection. It can also be used for non-military tasks, such as directing and coordinating rescue missions during natural disasters or major accidents at sea or on land.
Saab has the largest AEW&C customer base in the world, having provided solutions for the past 30 years in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia for multiple missions.
