Bengaluru: Swedish Aerospace and Defence firm, SAAB Group on Monday said the company is willing to offer defence capabilities to enable India to manufacture and export next generation fighter jets.
SAAB is set to showcase its fighter plane, the Gripen E aircraft at the Aero India 2017, a biennial aviation exhibition organised by the Ministry of Defence.
The Indian government floated an RFI last November to procure single-engine fighter aircrafts, and SAAB is among the top contenders determined to sell the Gripen E aircraft to the Indian Air Force (IAF).
The other contender in the forefront is the F-16 fighter aircraft produced by American defence firm, Lockheed Martin.
In addition to the Gripen E, SAAB will also be showcasing 11 defence products- electronic warfare systems, ground combat systems, camouflage system, and air defence systems amongst others. The exhibition will serve as a platform for defence manufacturers and service providers to meet potential buyers.
