Swedish defense company Saab AB has secured two orders from Airbus Defence and Space totaling approximately 549 million euros to equip German Eurofighter jets with its Arexis electronic warfare sensor suite.
The company said Friday that deliveries are scheduled to take place between 2025 and 2028.
The first order, valued at about 291 million euros, continues a contract signed in March 2024 for the integration of the system.
A second order for roughly 258 million euros, which is subject to authority approval, includes artificial intelligence technology developed with strategic partner Helsing, according to the company.
The deal follows Germany's selection of the Arexis system in June 2023 for a new electronic warfare version of its Eurofighter jets, which are set to replace the German Air Force's Tornado ECR fleet from 2030.
"We are proud to deliver Arexis to the German Air Force, which further strengthens the Swedish-German cooperation. Arexis is one of the most advanced fully digital sensors and jamming systems available on the market. The system will improve the Eurofighter’s situational awareness and survivability on the modern battlefield," said Micael Johansson, President and CEO of Saab.
