Saab, a leading defence and security company, has secured an order worth $190 million from UAE Ministry of Defence for providing in-service support for its GlobalEye Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) solution.
Under the three-year contract, Saab will also provide maintenance and logistics support, as well as training services, it stated.
GlobalEye is an advanced multi-domain AEW&C solution with an array of active and passive sensors that provide long-range detection and identification of objects in the air, at sea and over land.

"This agreement solidifies Saab’s role in ensuring that GlobalEye remains mission-ready," said Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s business area surveillance.
"We look forward to further strengthening our partnership with the UAE Air Force and Air Defence and providing long-term local support," added Bergholm.
