THE FUTURE IS GRIPEN
A versatile multi-role capability is the key to defeating the threats of today and tomorrow. Incorporating a state-of-the-art weapon system, Gripen possesses a look-down/shoot-down capability for engaging aircraft, missiles, and even the smallest, low-flying targets. Gripen is difficult to match in any air combat situation.
TO KNOW IS TO WIN
Gripen’s superior Beyond Visual Range (BVR)
Air-to-Air combat capability is the result of
high performance radar combined with the
fighter’s low IR, radar and visual signatures.
During an intercept, Gripen can engage
multiple targets simultaneously with highly
advanced active radar-guided BVR missiles.
The world’s most advanced in-service data
link not only provides unique targeting
capabilities but also allow the pilot to
communicate real-time information with
other elements of the defence network
whilst remaining undetected by the enemy.
Gripen has outstanding agility and high
instantaneous turn rates giving unrivalled
performance in close combat situations.
A full authority digital ‘Fly-By-Wire’ flight
control system enables carefree handling
throughout all areas of the flight envelope.
The pilot can concentrate on the mission at
hand and be fully confident that the fighter
will always respond with maximum
efficiency, performance and safety.
These capabilities, when used in conjunction
with the optional Helmet Mounted Display
(HMD) and new generation Within Visual
Range (WVR) missiles, makes Gripen
unbeatable in close combat.
Designed to fulfil an extensive range of
operational roles and having an Air-to-Air
refuelling probe, Gripen can perform attack
missions with self-escorting capability.
Equipped with advanced smart weapons,
Gripen is able to detect and destroy a wide
variety of targets, even at night or in poor
weather conditions.
7
THE FUTURE IS GRIPEN
Information and situation awareness are key factors in having the winning edge. The ability to acquire, retrieve, process, share and display tactical information – such as positional data for hostile and friendly units, missile engagement zones, and information from radar warning receivers – enables Gripen pilots to operate and interact effectively, whilst avoiding exposure to enemy fire.
Gripen is fitted with the Tactical Information
Data Link System (TIDLS) and an optional
NATO-standard Link 16 data link system,
both of which allow secure and high-speed
sharing of data with other platforms.
Using these data links, one Gripen can relay
tactical information and target data to other
Gripens, or other friendly fighters operating
in the combat zone. This secure mode of
operation permits data to be transferred to
and from command and control centres as
well as other platforms, such as tankers
and Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft and
provides a tactical winning edge.
Central to Gripen’s fighting capability, the
TIDLS enables the pilot to obtain qualitative
data from other Gripens whilst the optional
Link 16 provides access to an even greater
quantity of information from other Link 16
platforms. These data links increase group
information and situation awareness, enable
tactical surprise and enhance the capability
of force interaction. Capable of significantly
improving levels of combat effectiveness,
data links are invaluable tools when controlling
the battlefield and give Gripen a flexible and
decisive precision attack capability when
used alongside the Litening GIII FLIR/LDP
targeting pod.
To ease pilot workload and take full
advantage of the extensive amount of
available information, a very efficient
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) has been
designed around the Gripen pilot.
A combination of highly integrated system
functionality, carefully designed cockpit
controls and intuitive displays provide the
pilot with an outstanding level of information
and situation awareness, vital in combat
situations.
AN UNRIVALLED MIX OF SIMPLICITY AND SOPHISTICATION “DON’T NEED – DON’T SHOW”
9
THE FUTURE IS GRIPEN
MINIMIZING THE LOGISTICS FOOTPRINT
From the outset, Gripen was designed to
execute operations not only from small bases
such as road strips, but also extremely short
or battle-damaged runways.
The ability to deploy swiftly with minimum
resources was a basic requirement of the
Swedish Armed Forces when Gripen was
first conceived.
This original capability has since been further
enhanced with the incorporation of fully
NATO compatible ground servicing connectors,
utilization of NATO-standard aircraft fuel and
other replenishable consumables, as well
as the provision of NATO-standard cross-
servicing maintenance documentation.
All these features result in a minimal logistics footprint. For example, all the equipment (inclusive of all GSE and spares) required to support a four-week deployment with ten Gripens would occupy less than half of a C-130 Hercules’ cargo hold. Ideal when operating Gripen in the Expeditionary Role. Turn-Around Minimal personnel required for refuelling
and rearming
Reliability High reliability minimizing time on ground
Testability – BIT Fast, efficient and user-friendly fault localization and isolation
Maintainability All major avionic LRUs placed within a readily – Accessibility accessible central bay Maintainability Majority of access panels operate without GSE Minimized Time & placed within easy reach from ground level
Power Supply Autonomus operation through the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)
Maintainability No specific support equipment needed for access – Engine to the engine bay, mini-hoist used for removal
Maintenance Maintenance Ground Support System (MGSS) System designed to allow ease of fleet management irrespective of location
Ground Support Minimal mobile and multi purpose Equipment
Mission Support Fully mobile – allowing mission planning, rehearsal, analysis, mission debriefing/evaluation and training
10
THE FUTURE IS GRIPEN
DELIVERING THE HIGHEST OPERATIONAL AVAILABILITYWhile minimum cost is one priority, of equal
importance are fighter availability and the
support costs throughout the life cycle.
So too, is the capacity of the support system
to provide the required resources where and
when needed. The advanced mission support
system has been conceived to ensure that
Gripen can meet and sustain extremely high
operational availability requirements.
Combined with the multi-role capabilities of
the fighter, and its top-class mission
effectiveness, Gripen’s outstanding availability
performance represents a true force multiplier.
Textbook references and theoretical
calculations have their place, but in the final
analysis it is practical applications
that count. This is where Gripen excels.
An operational turnaround for a typical
Air-to-Air mission takes ten minutes for a
Gripen using minimal support equipment
and only six personnel.
A typical hot engine change takes less than
one hour using only a minimum amount
of equipment and personnel. Because of
the manner in which the Gripen system is
configured, no special checks are required
following installation.
Applying an on-condition maintenance
philosophy, wherever possible, further
minimizes scheduled maintenance.
The chart below shows that Gripen has fewer
failures than its competitors. The Mean Time
Between Failures (MTBF) for Gripen is 7.6
hours com-pared to its competitors with a
corresponding mean time between failures
averaging 4.1 hours. When a fault occurs,
it is quickly rectified and the fighter is returned
to service with the minimum of delay.
A repair takes an average of 2.5 hours on a
Gripen as opposed to 4.2 hours Mean Time
To Repair (MTTR) on a previous generation
aircraft. In short, a Gripen delivers more time
in the air than anything else on the market.

THE FUTURE IS GRIPEN
Not only is Gripen the most reliable true
multi-role fighter available on the world
market today, it also has the lowest through
life support costs compared with any other
fighters in its class. Providing a level of
unrivalled flexibility, the Gripen’s support
package is devised to allow the customer to
choose the level of support and resulting
dependency that they wish to have with
the prime contractor. Saab is committed to
providing cost-effective through life support
for its customers. To fulfil this commitment
Saab offers a follow-on support contract that
includes a range of products and services all
of which can be tailored to each customer’s
specific needs.
The following range of services can be provided:
Spares re-provisioning covering:
• Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) of components and aircraft
• Re-supply of spares for Level 1 maintenance
Extensions to the support services provided in the initial acquisition contract, such as:
• Technical publication amendments
• Query response
• Service bulletins
• Field service representatives
• Sustained Engineering; securing continued airworthiness of delivered products
HIGH MTBF
LOW MTTR
MORE TIME IN THE AIR
12
THE FUTURE IS GRIPEN
The persistent pursuit of excellence also
extends to maintainability and testability
where, again, Gripen leads the field.
With a Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) of 2.5
man hours per flying hour, and less than
5 maintenance hours per flying hour, Gripen is
easier to maintain and requires fewer personnel,
fewer spares, less ground support equipment
and less downtime than its competitors.
These inherent design characteristics not only
deliver the lowest initial support package but
also ensure the lowest through life support cost
and an unbeatable price/performance ratio.
The cost estimation relationship model shown
below has been compiled using aircraft
acquisition costs and key support parameters,
such as Mean Time Between Failures
(MTBFs) and Maintenance Man-Hours per
Flying Hour (MMH/FH). Hard evidence for the
Gripen data exists in the form of data taken
from the stringent evaluation programme run
by the Swedish Armed Forces.
All the data is obtained from public domain
sources such as seminars, internet sites and
contractor briefings. The comparison shows
the competitor data for each cost element as
a percentage of Gripen’s costs. For example,
if a competitors operating and support cost
were twice as much as Gripen, the bar chart
would read 200%.
As Gripen is still only at the beginning of its life
cycle it will witness continuous improvements
for its operating air forces for up to the next
thirty years. Customers selecting Gripen on
the basis of these proven benefits can look
forward to continued future reductions in the
cost of support and enhancements to the
operational capability of the weapon system.
LEAN AND MEANGripen qualifies as the most reliable true multi-role fighter aircraft available in the world today. Operators can expect fewer failures, less maintenance, less down-time, and the lowest support costs of any fighter in its class.

THE FUTURE IS GRIPEN
The highest quality pilot and ground crew
training is a pre-requisite if the full potential
of a modern fighter aircraft is to be realized.
Training has taken on even greater significance
with the advent of true multi-role fighters such
as Gripen, enabling personnel to undertake a
broader range of activities. The full potential
of the aircraft and its systems can only be
realized if pilots and ground crew are properly
trained.
The Gripen training concept guarantees safe,
efficient and effective training. This is achieved
through the use of real aircraft and synthetic
ground-based systems such as simulators,
part-task trainers and computer-aided
learning tools.
State-of-the art training functions embedded
in the fighter, such as aiming and delivery
modes of simulated weapons, along with
dedicated systems for both tactical planning
capability and mission rehearsal and
evaluation provide a solid base for high quality
pilot training.
The fighter´s on-board digital recording
system is used to replay the mission in a
ground-based evaluation system designed to
assess pilot and system performance.
This can include analysis of weapon delivery
results and overall tactical scenarios. Video
replay can also be performed in the aircraft
using the colour Multi-Function Display (MFD)
system.
In addition to its operational role, the
two-seater version of Gripen, with its almost
identical cockpits, facilitates efficient basic
type conversion and tactical system training.
Through extensive use of Built-In-Test (BIT)
functions, fault diagnosis is much simpler for
the ground crew. Maintenance requirements
are also reduced through high reliability and
short repair times. Consequently, Gripen’s
ground crew training concept is based around
the use of multi-skilled personnel as opposed
to the traditional single skilled personnel
approach.
TRAINING TO MAXIMIZE FIGHTER POTENTIAL
15
THE FUTURE IS GRIPEN
TRAINING TO MAXIMIZE FIGHTER POTENTIAL
SECURE LONG-TERM ENHANCEMENT
Benefitting from the use of the latest technologies, systems, aerodynamics and modular avionics architecture, Gripen has been designed with the aim of making future enhancements straightforward and affordable. By virtue of the programmes already put in place by the Swedish customer, the Gripen system is the subject of on-going improvement processes geared to deliver capability, functionality and performance enhancements above and beyond the original specification. As well as operational capability, many of these are aimed at further improvements to supportability.
Recognizing that every customer has unique
requirements that evolve and change during
the in-service life of the weapons systems,
Saab has launched the Gripen Demonstrator
programme in 2008. Aimed at demonstrating
future technologies and capabilities, this
programme lead to further enhance Gripen’s
on-going technology insertion programme
thereby ensuring it remains at the cutting-
edge of fighter aircraft performance and
capability well beyond 2040. The end result
is the Gripen NG. This type introduces AESA
radar, new stronger engine, more internal fuel
and more stores carrying capability/range.
These enhancements will also be available
for upgrading Gripen C and it is for this
reason that no customers will be locked into
any specific aircraft configuration. This choice
and flexibility is absolutely critical to the
success of Gripen, as export customers will
account for a significant percentage of the
fighter’s total sales.
This facility is not available when a
manufacturer depends on a domestic market
for the bulk of aircraft sales, or in the case of
complex multi-national manufacturing
programmes.
When it comes to Gripen, export customers
can expect a higher level of customization
at the time of initial sale and greater
influence over, and participation in, the
future enhancement programmes than any
competitor can hope to offer. During 2013
Brazil down selected Gripen NG as the new
fighter for their FX-2 program.

MEET THE GRIPEN FIGHTER
GRIPEN – ADVANCED WEAPONS FLEXIBILITY
Feedback from the recent conflicts in the Balkans, Afghanistan and
Iraq has confirmed that operational requirements are changing.
Users of airborne platforms have also recognized this trend and
are themselves imposing appropriate demands on equipment and
systems suppliers. Users no longer want a specific aircraft for each
operational role. They require a multi-role platform that is capable of
undertaking all roles (Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground, maritime strike and
reconnaissance).
Gripen has been developed to meet a wide range of operational
requirements which include a variety of missions. The multi-role
capability of Gripen and its ability to change roles in the air at the press
of a button results in a unique swing-role, multi-mission flexibility.
To fulfill the various missions that Gripen could be asked to undertake,
the fighter has a variety of stores integrated and freedom of choice
when it comes to the nationality of the weapons supplier.
The customer has the choice to match Gripen together with stores
from the United States of America, Europe and other regions of the
world, or from indigenous suppliers.
