In 2022, German officials stated the intention to enable 15 of the German Air Force’s Eurofighters for EW missions. Proceeding with Saab’s Arexis follows the result of a market survey recently conducted by BAAINBw which assessed the products of European and international EW providers, considering aspects such as performance, integration and route to certification. “We welcome this decision and look forward to proceeding with the next steps. Arexis is the perfect match for Germany’s electronic warfare requirements for the Eurofighter” says Anders Sjöberg, head of Saab Germany. Saab’s offer states that the company would carry out a major part of the work at its site in Bavaria, Germany, together with its artificial intelligence partner Helsing.

Knowing exactly what is going on around you is crucial. The modular Arexis radar warner offers the full picture of the situation, not only to the aircrew but also over the network. In a contested environment, it is the difference of being able to engage or being forced to abort. The superior situational awareness provides the tactical edge needed to secure mission success, self-protection of the platform, and the safety of the pilot. Arexis is a solution to expand the concept of platform protection, to provide not only survivability but to enable offensive operations within the range of hostile air defense systems. With Arexis on board, all information collected by the fighter and all other available sensors are linked, processed, and presented in a way that gives unprecedented awareness and the readiness needed to act with high accuracy.

So, Saab's Arexis electronic warfare solution gives the ability to detect and stay ahead of all possible threats. It suite delivers crucial situational awareness. Whether fully integrated onboard an aircraft, in a missionized pod, or as payload on an unmanned vehicle, it gives unrivaled defensive and offensive electronic warfare capabilities. Saab’s modular EW solution Arexis makes use of advanced hardware and software including high-end AI algorithms to remain superior in complex electromagnetic environments.
