How Gripen Pioneered the Concept of Dispersed Operations

Permanent air bases are usually the first target of attacks in modern warfare. To counter such a threat, Sweden and a few other countries utilise a dispersed-operations concept where fighters operate from simple road bases as opposed to solely using more susceptible Main Operating Bases (MoBs). Air forces that follow this concept regularly conduct dispersed exercises to operate from ordinary roads in different places in the country. This way of working is soon to be adopted across the globe.

Gripen Offer Tailored to Indian Quest For Aatmanirbhar Defence Industry

When Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi launched the ‘Make in India’ campaign to create an environment in the country that is conducive to capability building, investment, and skill development, among other things, it resonated with the Saab values of self-reliance. Back in 1937, when the world was on the brink of another World War, Sweden decided to build its own fighter aircraft. Ever since, the country has strived to realise self-reliance in various domains, especially defence.

Inside the Gripen E Simulator

Every Gripen pilot goes through a carefully tailored training programme before flying the fighter in real life. For this training, a vital tool is the Gripen Mission Trainer simulator which can generate realistic environments for the pilot. The very high level of realism offered does not just prepare the pilots for the real deal but also reduces the live training time and cost significantly. In addition, specific emergency procedures can be simulated, many of which cannot be trained for in real life.

INAC – World’s Most Modern Aircraft Manufacturing Facility

It’s one thing to promise transfer of technology when it comes to developing fighter jets, and quite another to actually chalk out a plan that defines the way it (technology transfer) is actually going to work over a period of time, when a contract is signed.

Gripen Offer for India

When a country buys a new fleet of fighter aircraft, it is a big and a long-term investment. For a country like India, having a large fleet that delivers high performance in various roles for years to come is a must. At the same time, there is a requirement for a strategic industrial cooperation that is in line with the Prime Minister’s Make in India concept.
