Saab is evaluating the creation of a GlobalEye AEW&C conversion line in Canada, a step that depends on securing a firm Canadian order, and the Canadian Defence Investment Agency has signed a non‑binding framework agreement to discuss a fleet of six aircraft with associated systems, training, service support and industrial benefits.
Saab's commercial director said the Canadian line could serve up to one third of global demand over fifteen years, and the company plans to deliver four GlobalEye aircraft each year starting in 2030, while Bombardier is already negotiating with Saab on the required Canadian modifications to the Global 6500 platform.
