Swedish Foreign Minister Push JAS 39 Gripen To CroatiaZagreb, CROATIA: Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt (R) shakes hand with Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader before their meeting in Zagreb 14 November 2006.
Other than providing political support for Croatia's efforts to join the EU in 2009, Carl Bildt took the chance to promote the jet.
- I noted that there is a Swedish offer supported by the government.
Croatian FM Grabar-Kitarovic said Gripen is under consideration. The Mig-21 fleet need to be replaced starting 2010 with around a dozen new jets.
SAAB and the Swedish government is also actively promoting the jet to EU candidate states Bulgaria and Romania as a kick-off to new business relations.

Representatives from the danish airforce are visiting the Saab factory these days to get a closer look at the Gripen.
Sectra receives order for aviation cryptosystem
The Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) has ordered a cryptosystem that will be used in the Gripen aircraft system. The system will be delivered by the Swedish company Sectra and the order value amounts to SEK 10 million.
The cryptosystem meets the absolute strictest security requirements and is tailor-made for use in aircraft. This system facilitates faster and more cost-efficient development and further enhancement of the Gripen operations.
"Sectra has unique competence in encryption, as a result of which we can rapidly customize a cryptosystem for aircraft from our broad cryptographic portfolio," says Jan-Olof Brüer, President of Sectra Communications. "The order strengthens our position as the leading crypto supplier to the Swedish Defense Forces," Jan-Olof Brüer adds.
The cryptosystem in the Gripen system is expected to be in the air during 2007.

Gripen International's Marketing Director Hans Rosen confirmed to Norwegian news VG that the Enhanced Gripen promoted as Gripen N and DK will be built regardless of foreign interest. Dubbed Gripen 'New Generation'.
Oh boy... that's big news.
Very good news indeed. Thanks for the link Signatory!

Nice but expensive. I hope some countries will buy the new version.
Self-Explanatory. From FMV trial.
LGB GBU12 is in SwAF inventory as we know, also used over in Alaska.
New is (can't remember this was mentioned), since Sweden is not in control of GPS satellites and to further reduce the risk of collateral damage the decision has been made to aquire Dual-Mode bombs (GPS/INS+Laser) for all-weather precision attacks. This funding (SEK60m) has been added to the Gripen Framework budget by the new Gov.
They will become operational up to and from 2009 together with Edition 19 * of the JAS39.
By 2012 with the SwAF plan to operate Ed:20 which can generate gps coordinates by itself using SAR/GMTI. With Ed:21 by 2015 the aim by SwAF is to enhance the stand-off strike capability and precision attacks against moving ground targets.
* Ed:19 is the one rolling off the production line now, the South African SA01 was the first to fly with it a few months ago.
Thinking about it, is he talking about the "demonstrator" or does he imply that Sweden will modifying it´s hole fleet of Gripenplanes(moving landinggear, more internal fuel etc.)?Originally Posted by signatory

The SwAF hasn't ordered any "New Generation" Gripens, so all he's saying is that they (Gripen International) will go ahead with designing/developing this new version whether there's any foreign interest or not.
Ps. Vill inte verka spydig men på engelska särskriver man sammansatta ord.
Ok, thanks for the clarification!

Norway wants the competition to be on equal terms - devotes R&D cash to Saab.
(In Swedish) http://www.svd.se/dynamiskt/inrikes/did_14183940.asp
Edit: Whoops. It's not certain, the cash depends on wether or not norway decides to continue with JSF, if they continue Saab will get money to make sure the deal is done on equal terms.

Beautiful machines! BTW who finally paid for integration with newest AMRAAMs for Czech Republic?
Gripen will really rock if gets Meteor missile...
Perhaps when our crews will be finally trained some friendly fights will be arranged between Gripens and our F-16s Block 52. I'm really curious about the results...
