- The delivery of the first GlobalEye plane is a major milestone for Saab, but also an important historical step for airborne sensor platforms, says Micael Johansson, Saab's President and CEO, in a statement.
GlobalEye is a combination of Saab's new radar system Erieye ER and Bombardier's Global 6000, a jet aircraft that has extra long range and can be in the air for up to 11 hours.
According to Saab, GlobalEye is "the first in the world market that can detect and track targets at great distances and conduct surveillance in the air, on the ground and at sea simultaneously from one and the same platform".
