Saab has won approximately SEK 224 million ($27 million) from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) to upgrade its Gripen C/D systems.
All of the Swedish Air Force’s Gripen fighters have been brought up to the latest MS20 standard, which will now be further improved under the contract announced Wednesday.

“This is an important order to maintain and further develop the capabilities of Gripen C/D. It involves large parts of the Gripen C/D system," Jonas Hjelm, head of Saab business area Aeronautics.”
