Sweden Orders Gripen Warfare Systems

Saab received a $95.5 million order to supply electronic warfare systems and supplementary weapons pylons for Gripen fighters for the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration. The electronic warfare systems include antennas, transmitters and computers. The supplementary weapons pylons, Saab said, means the aircraft will be able to use GPS-equipped weapons systems. Deliveries will be made between 2008 and 2009, Saab said in a statement Tuesday.
