Saab EW targets Polish MiG-29
Saab has inked a teaming agreement with Wojskowe Zaklady Lotnicze Nr 2 (WZL2) aviation facilities in Bydgoszcz, Poland, regarding the Polish Air Force's MiG-29 fleet modernisation programme.
Under the agreement the companies will propose to enable the MiG-29 aircraft to carry Saab's Electronic Warfare (EW) self-protection systems.
Saab's EW systems provide situational awareness and the ability to detect, localise and identify radar frequency based threats. If detected, protection from countermeasure systems will mitigate the risks in the hostile engagement in order to complete the mission and leave the engagement zone safely.
Carl-Johan Bergholm, head EW-systems business unit, Saab, said: ‘As an international supplier of electronic warfare systems, Saab fully recognise the importance of finding the right partners to complement our portfolio. Along with WZL2, we can use our knowledge to develop projects that are very favourable to the Polish Air Force and the Polish industry.’
