NATO Bets on Saab, Giving Canada's GlobalEye Gamble a Major Boost NATO's decision to acquire up to 10 Saab manufactured GlobalEye early warning surveillance aircraft is significant, particularly for Canada.
As part of a joint procurement effort between 11 countries, including Canada, the deal marks a major boost for Sweden's bid to dominate the advanced airborne early warning market.
The GlobalEye, built on a Bombardier 6500 executive jet, features cutting edge radar and sensor technology capable of detecting complex threats such as drone swarms, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles.
