The Brazilian air force’s $5.4 billion order for 36 Gripen fighters includes a 19x8 inch wide-area touchscreen made by AEL Sistemas, an Elbit Systems subsidiary based in Brazil.
Saab announced that the wide area and head-up displays for the Gripen E/F would be offered to all customers of the single-engined fighter as a potential cockpit upgrade, according to Flight Global.
The latest version of the wide area and head-up displays are now in safety-of-flight testing with Saab, according to AEL.
"We will make them available for all Swedish air force customers," says Mikael Franzén, head of Business Unit at Gripen Brazil. So far, the Gripen E has only been ordered by Sweden and Brazil.
The Brazilian fighter development program is on track to complete first flight of the single-seater in 2019, with all 36 aircraft delivered between 2021 and 2024, Franzén says.
