Saab has received a new order from the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) for continued work on Sweden’s future fighter system, extending studies and demonstrator activity through 2028, with options for 2029 and 2030. The contract, valued at approximately SEK 2.9 billion (about $302 million), includes flying and ground-based demonstrators, advanced studies, and the development of future system concepts covering both manned and unmanned aircraft.
