Gripen E now in Operation with 巴西ian 空气 Force

The 巴西ian 空气 Force (FAB) held a ceremony on 19 December at the Anápolis 空气 Base (BAAN) marking the beginning of operational activities of the Gripen E fighters (referred to as Gripen F-39 in 巴西) by the First 空气 Defense Group (1st GDA).

This important customer milestone follows the flight test phase in 巴西 that started in September 2020 with the arrival of the test aircraft in the country, and which were conducted at the Gripen Flight Test Center (GFTC) located at the Embraer plant in Gavião Peixoto.

"The start of operational activities with Gripen E by the 巴西ian 空气 Force (FAB) is an extremely important day. It marks the beginning of a new operational era for FAB but also is the result of years of hard work done in partnership with the 空气 Force and with our 巴西ian industry partners: Embraer, AEL sistema, 又名, Atech, 以及我们在巴西的子公司,十大正规博彩网站排名总裁兼首席执行官迈克尔·约翰逊说.

在11月, Saab achieved the certification necessary for the military use of Gripen E, which attests that the aircraft has met certain airworthiness and flight safety requirements which was an important step prior to operational activities with the FAB. This was granted by both the Swedish and 巴西ian military authorities, represented by the Swedish Military Aviation Safety Inspectorate (FLYGI) and the Industrial Fostering and Coordination Institute (IFI) in 巴西. The joint certification reflects the synergy obtained through the technical cooperation between the two authorities in each country.

“巴西 now has one of the most advanced fighters in the world. This is currently the most extensive ongoing technology transfer programme in 巴西 and it is definitely the largest one ever done by any Swedish company, bringing to the 巴西ian defence industry the knowledge to develop, 生产, 测试和维护一架先进的超音速战斗机. We are very proud to be a strategic partner to 巴西," concluded Johansson.
