    Technical Supplements S1 The IG JAS Investment In this Technical Supplement the JAS 39 Gripen product concept is outlined, the procurement process documented, the Industry Group IG JAS presented and the critical role of the competent public procurement agency, the FMV, highlighted. S1.1 The Procurement of the JAS 39 Gripen Aircraft with Swing-Role Capabilities The JAS 39 Gripen multirole combat aircraft (J stands for fighter, A for Attack and S for Surveillance/reconnaissance) is a fourth generation aircraft that entered operational service in 1997. It replaced the Viggen, the last of which was taken out of service in 2006. JAS 39 Gripen is a combat aircraft with swing-role capabilities that can change mission in flight. This swing-role capability was unique when Gripen was launched but has later been introduced on the French Rafale and the Eurofighter. Other competing multirole aircraft first have to land to reconfigure its information, guidance, and weapons systems for a new role. Gripen was the first “unstable” aircraft in the world which meant that in order for the aircraft to be stable at all speeds and in all maneuvers many more navigation surfaces are needed than the pilot can possibly control himself to minimize air friction at each moment. He needs incredibly sophisticated computer systems support to maneuver the aircraft effectively and safely. Competing fourth generation combat aircraft are F-35/JSF (the USA, not yet (2009) delivered to market), the Eurofighter Typhoon (the UK, etc.) and Rafale (Dassault, France). JAS 39 Gripen also competes with upgraded versions of the third generation aircraft of Lockheed Martin F-16 (the USA, first delivered in 1978), Boeing F/A18 Hornet (the USA, first delivered in 1983), Dassault Mirage 2000 (France, first delivered in 1983), and Mig-29 (the former Soviet Union, first delivered in 1977).

  • Saab-Väggen I Flygets Hus
    Saab-väggen i Flygets Hus Saab, Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget, grundades år 1937 i Trollhättan och slogs 1939 sam- man med ASJA, Aktiebolaget Svenska Järnvägsverkstädernas Aeroplanavdelning. Huvud- kontoret flyttades till Linköping där ASJA utvecklat och byggt flygplan sedan 1931. Saab och Scania-Vabis fusionerades 1969 till Saab-Scania AB där Saab Flygdivisionen blev en av fyra divisioner. Saab-Scania-koncernen delades 1995 upp i två företag – Saab AB och Scania AB. Saab-väggen visar de flygplan som utvecklats och tillverkats av Saab samt personer som haft en central roll för utvecklingen av såväl företaget som dess produkter eller varit nyckel- personer inom olika teknikområden. De flesta personerna har belönats med Thulinmedaljen som instiftades 1944 av Flygtekniska Föreningen för att hedra minnet av flygpionjären Enoch Thulin. Den utdelas i guld, silver eller brons såsom en ”utmärkelse och erkänsla för flygteknisk gärning”. Alla Saabanställda som tilldelats Thulinmedaljen i guld fram till år 2019 är representerade i porträttgalleriet medan silvermedaljörerna presenteras i en lista i slutet av skriften. Porträttguide Marcus Wallenberg, bank- och industrimannen, var drivande vid bildandet av Saab och betydde mycket för företagets ut- veckling genom åren. Han var ledamot i företagets styrelse från starten 1939 och dess ordförande 1969 – 1980. Ragnar Wahrgren var 1939 chef för ASJ och blev efter samman- slagningen 1939 Saabs förste vd i Linköping. Han ledde företa- get under krigsåren och därefter fram till 1950. Elis Nordquist anställdes vid ASJA 1934 och var vid samman- slagningen 1939 dess chef. I det ”nya” Saab var han chef för tekniska avdelningen fram till 1950 då han utnämndes till vvd.

Den svenska vapenindustrikoncernen Saab AB följer denna trend i och med den stundande introduktionen av företagets obemannade helikopter Skeldar V-150. Som ett led i vidareutvecklingen av detta system finns planer på att även lansera en marin variant, kallad Skeldar M. Tanken med denna marina variant är att möjliggöra fullständigt autonoma starter och landningar från fartyg. För att kunna genomföra detta på ett tryggt sätt även i hårt väder krävs att helikoptern hålls säkrad på fartygsdäcket såväl innan start som efter landning.

  • Central Computer for Aircraft Saab 37, Viggen
    1 Central Computer for aircraft Saab 37, Viggen Bengt Jiewertz Formerly of Datasaab and Ericsson AB Abstract: In the beginning of the 1960s it was decided that the multipurpose attack/fighter Saab 37 Viggen should be designed as a single seat aircraft. A central computer and a head-up display made it possible to dispense with the need for a human navigator. The computer was the central computing and integrating unit for all electronic equipment to support the pilot. This computer, CK37 used in the Saab AJ37, was the first airborne computer in the world to use integrated circuits (first generation ICs). Almost 200 computers were delivered 1970 -1978. The function was reliable and the computers were still in operation, with upgrades, at the early beginning of 2000`s. Key words: Aircraft computers, CK37 1. Background In the early twentieth century there were twelve Swedish companies involved in the manufacture of aircraft. They had, however, no support from the Swedish Defence Department. Later, in 1932, Parliament decided that Sweden should be self-sufficient in the supply of military aircraft. The company Saab (Svenska Aeroplan AktieBolaget) was established in 1937 and was contracted by the Swedish Air Force to deliver military aircraft. Three types of propeller aircraft were successively delivered. The international tension grew after the Second World War and the Saab technical ability and capacity was used for new advanced developments. From 1950 four new subsonic jet aircrafts were delivered. The most famous one was the fighter Saab 29 “Tunnan”. In total 661 Saab 29 were delivered in the period 1950-1956 and made the Swedish Air Force the fourth largest in the world.
