In an email response from Saab's press manager, Mattias Rådström, he writes the following:

“The contract with Saab will provide an in-depth basis for future decisions in combat aviation in the long term, which includes both Gripen and potentially other systems, but also potential international collaborations.

For both the Armed Forces and Saab, the Gripen is the main component of the air force for a long time to come. ”

A large part is carried out in Linköping

When asked if this affects the company's operations in Linköping, he answers:

“A large part of this study will be carried out in Linköping, where there is great competence in the area.

How this will affect Linköping more specifically is too early to say anything about now.

Right now, broad concept studies are being carried out and nothing we can comment on in detail ”.
