Saab ready to offer GlobalEye for Canada’s Airborne Early Warning and Control program
GlobalEye is a leading Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) solution that combines the best of Swedish and Canadian expertise and quality to match the requirements of Canada’s acquisition program.
The announcement coincides with Saab’s participation at CANSEC 2025, where the company is showcasing its advanced multi-domain airborne surveillance solution built on a Canadian platform.
At the heart of the GlobalEye system is the Bombardier Global 6000/6500 aircraft, a Canadian-built platform that delivers long range, high endurance, and superior performance at all altitudes. Saab’s proposal leverages this proven platform with a suite of cutting-edge sensors and mission systems, offering the Canadian Armed Forces a highly capable, cost-effective, and sovereign solution.
Through Saab’s strong partnership with Bombardier, our GlobalEye offering supports Canada’s defence and industrial objectives by maximizing domestic content, creating high-value jobs, and integrating Canadian companies into a global supply chain.
“GlobalEye is a truly strategic asset – a multi-domain solution that delivers increased situational awareness and rapid response capability across air, maritime, and land domains,” said Anders Carp, Deputy CEO of Saab. “With Bombardier’s world-class aircraft made right here in Canada, and Saab’s proven expertise in radar development and advanced surveillance technologies, we believe GlobalEye represents a unique opportunity to deliver unmatched capability while growing Canada’s aerospace and defence sectors.”
Saab brings decades of experience in delivering AEW&C systems worldwide, including to NATO and trusted international partners. GlobalEye is a modern and capable solution that is currently in production and in operation.
