Saab and CAE Advance GlobalEye Worldwide with New Global Cooperation Agreement
Saab and CAE on November 21 announced the signing of a global cooperation agreement to collaborate on advanced training specifically tailored to Saab’s Airborne Early Warning (AEW) platforms, including the GlobalEye Airborne Surveillance Platform.
The agreement, formalized during the week of the state visit of Their Majesties the King and Queen of Sweden to Canada, marks a significant advancement in the long-standing relationship between the two companies and strengthens international cooperation in airborne surveillance, situational awareness, and integrated mission platforms.
Building on Saab’s expanding partnerships in Canada, the collaboration will combine Saab’s decades of expertise in multi-domain sensing, command and control, and AEW system integration with CAE’s global leadership in simulation-based training. Together, the companies will deliver comprehensive, high-fidelity training environments that replicate the complexity of modern airborne surveillance missions for GlobalEye operators.
Saab’s President and CEO, Micael Johansson, said the agreement underscores the long-term vision for expanding the capacity of AEW capability. “This partnership strengthens our commitment to GlobalEye customers and reinforces our strategy to deliver world-leading airborne early warning capabilities with best-in-class training. CAE is a trusted partner with unmatched expertise of training solutions, and together we will increase the operational readiness for Airborne Early Warning platforms users around the world.”
Echoing this sentiment, Matthew Bromberg, President and CEO of CAE, noted “The agreement between Saab and CAE sets the stage for a global AEW&C training franchise anchored in Canada,” said Matt Bromberg, CEO and President, CAE Inc. “Today’s announcement reflects years of trust and joint success with Saab and responds to an evolving geopolitical landscape that demands stronger, integrated partnerships.”
The announcement comes at a time of deepened defence and security collaboration between Sweden and Canada, highlighted by the Royal Visit. Both nations share a commitment to strengthening transatlantic security, advancing aerospace innovation, and supporting the interoperability of allied forces. The agreement between Saab and CAE reflects this broader partnership, demonstrating how Swedish and Canadian industry can work together to enhance global security and deliver cutting-edge capabilities to international customers.
