GRIPEN FOR INDIA
STRATEGIC LEVERAGE
Gripen is the only option that will fundamentally shift India’s defence technology prowess to one that is able to realise its ambition of being an independent global player.
.
Gripen’s programme for IAF, Indian defence and industrial establishment will make India completely independent of the need to purchase combat aircraft from other countries and make it an exporter of aircraft like Sweden by 2020
The Saab approach to industrial co-operation and successful technology transfer (ToT) is based on extensive interaction between the partners. This interaction aims at long-term industrial expansion and GDP growth as well as technology and spin-off effects, not ending with the expiration of Saab’s contractual obligations and not restricted to the current application of technology. Being a country well known for its high-tech innovations, we seek international co-operation to reach the global market.
Saab is prepared to transfer the latest technology to India, not just the technology base for development of the present product portfolio. We are also committed to providing knowledge that enables the receiver to utilize and apply the technologies transferred.
The Gripen NG development programme offers a unique opportunity for India to gain insight into all levels of aircraft technology as well as transfer of knowledge and technology. Saab guarantees access to all levels of technology and management of all aspects of the product life cycle.
