Defence
and security company Saab and the Brazilian Ministry of Defence, through

The CLS contract
includes continuous maintenance and support services for the Gripen
NG aircraft, and their associated equipment, that will be delivered
to Brazil during the five years between 2021 and 2026. The CLS services
will be provided to COMAER by Saab and its Brazilian partners.
”This contract secures the Gripen NG logistics support solution for Brazil. It is also an important part of Saab's commitment to deliver the Gripen NG system to the Brazilian Air Force,” says Ulf Nilsson, Head of business unit Gripen within Saab’s business area Aeronautics. The CLS contract
is supplementary to the main contract with Brazil covering development
and production of 36 Gripen NG aircraft, which was announced on 27 October
2014. The CLS contract will come into effect once certain conditions
linked to the main contract – such as the delivery of aircraft
- have been fulfilled. |
