The Danish Ministry of Defence has decided to reopen the type selection process for new fighter aircraft, which was suspended in mid-2010. Saab’s fighter aircraft system Gripen is one of four alternatives.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Defence has in cooperation with the Armed Forces set up an organization to prepare the presentation for type selection.
“Our position to export Gripen to the world market is stronger than ever, particularly after the historical procurement order placed last month by Sweden for 60 Gripen and another possible 22 Gripen fighters for Switzerland,” says Lennart Sindahl, Head of Saab’s business area Aeronautics.
