Saab secures SEK 1.3 billion Swedish order for new Gripen flight control computer

Sweden's Defence Materiel Administration awarded Saab SEK 1.3 billion to develop a new-generation flight control computer for the Gripen fighter, with deliveries planned during 2030. The computer is a central element of the aircraft's flight control system, supporting safe, precise maneuvering and processing the commands required to control the airframe. Saab will replace the current equipment with a design intended to meet long-term availability, performance and security-of-supply requirements. The project will be conducted jointly with FMV as a development and replacement program, rather than an order for additional Gripen aircraft.
