Swedish Manufacturer Expands Autonomous Capabilities
Saab has developed its own AI agent, which is being tested on the Gripen E fighter in beyond-visual-range combat scenarios. The company aims to increase production to 36 fighters annually and is exploring options for industrial cooperation with Canadian manufacturers. Saab’s investment in AI is part of its efforts to enhance the Gripen E’s capabilities and prepare for a future where crewed and uncrewed combat aircraft will work together. This development was first reported by Defence Industry Europe.
