The MoUs will help enable Saab to work with these Indian companies to establish an indigenous, efficient, tailor-made manufacturing system that will develop, deliver and support state-of-the-art Gripen fighters in India for the Indian Air Force.
The MoU that is signed with CIM Tools and Sansera will expand the existing working relationships with Saab on commercial aerostructures to the Gripen fighter and other defence-related products in the Saab portfolio.
The MoU with Dynamatic will be a starting point that will explore future joint opportunities in commercial and defence-related aerostructures work, including Gripen.
“I am pleased that the fruitful co-operation we have established over several years with CIM Tools and Sansera can be further developed for the Gripen fighter. The MoU with Dynamatic has the potential to further develop our ecosystem for commercial aerostructures as well as Gripen.” said Lars Jensen, Managing Director and Head of Saab Aerostructures.
