The Road to Become a Gripen Fighter Pilot
Försvarsmakten's very own series on pilot training called "Road to Become a Fighter Pilot" focuses on the many intensive phases of the training.
This particular episode is all about students getting their first pass to fly the Gripen fighter. The new students have just arrived at Skaraborg Air Force Wing (F 7) in Såtenäs, and are all set to fly Gripen.
The various episodes of the series focus on areas like navigation, fighter exam, first single flight, low-level flying, simulator training, incident preparedness, and air combat.

In modern conflict, situations develop rapidly, and your forces receiving accurate, timely intelligence is the key to mission success. Airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) systems are airborne radar solutions used to detect and identify air, land and sea vehicles, missiles and other objects. AEW&C systems are also employed as battle management command and control centres, receiving and transmitting real-time information to achieve total situational awareness.

Protecting and securing a maritime territory has always been fraught with difficulty. Today, more than ever, advanced technological development imposes the necessity for naval forces to operate in an environment that is increasingly complex, challenging and unpredictable. In such a setting, you need a heightened level of awareness, and the ability to detect, identify and counter a wide range of threats – fast and slow, conventional and unconventional. Sea Giraffe 1X radar is designed to provide the capabilities required to manage any threats in any waters and make the Navies of the world better prepared for the increasingly complex and demanding naval environment.
