Gripen C

- aka SF-39, Gripen C -

Overview
The JAS 39 Gripen is a light weight multi role combat aircraft currently in production. It is now fully operational with the Swedish air force with more than 115 units. In 1978 the Swedish Government decided that the Swedish Air Force needed a new multirole aircraft for the turn of the century. After an evaluation process, Parliament decided in June 1982 to go ahead with the Swedish project and the Defence Materiel Administration signed a contract for development of the JAS-39 "Gripen", and the final flight tests were completed in December of 1996.

The "Gripen" offers high agility, advanced target acquisition systems - including a powerful multi-role radar, modern weapons, low radar signatures and powerful Electronic counter-measures systems. The JAS-39 Gripen system is designed to counter all current and future threats. The aircraft has been developed for the Swedish Air Force by the Industry Group JAS (SAAB, Ericsson, Volvo Aero and FFV Aerotech) in close co-operation with the Swedish Air-Force.
