Pakistan's Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts

[Caprxl]

1.553 Bn SEK = US$157.23m

Lets see who comes up with the details of this order

Well, but work is to be performed outside Pakistan, so if it had to be a follow up order, PAF already has achieved the capability to integrate the systems on the aircraft, so 2 scenarios come to my mind;

1)Customer is not Pakistan,
2)Customer is Pakistan, BUT there is something new here that has not been in PAF inventory before hence no integration at Kamra.

"The industry’s nature is such that due to circumstances concerning the product and customer, further information about the customer will not be announced.

It is based on the Saab 2000 aircraft equipped with Saab’s airborne radar Erieye and a range of other sensors."​

Definitely customer is Pak.
only PAF & RSAF operates saab 2000.
only PAF has large number of saab 2000 aircrafts.
RSAF operates only 2 saab 2000 aew

Customer has to be pakistan..saab2000 is mentioning is a practical give away ..no other country will choose saab2000 platform ..it makes no sense to choose an out of production plan..
And PAF has been go picking any and every saab2000 it can see..

Both thailand and UAE operate saab340.
UAE Just purchased a upgrade for their saab340 and are going for global eye..so thailand is a possibility but saab340 is different from saab2000

I would imagine any new customer to go for bombodier

Janes is reporting that based off of the time frame it is for 2-3 systems

 

[The Raven]

Three years is a long time to deliver a single system, and the press release clearly states "deliveries", i.e. more than one. I can't see the PAF ordering any more Erieyes at the moment.

True but saab2000 doesnt make any sense either

 

[Akh1112]

True but saab2000 doesnt make any sense either

I think, its quite likely that it could be the saudi's, they fly 6 old E-3s

 

[mingle]

It's further says border surveillance along SAR I feel for Navy too
