Saab Offers GlobalEye for Canada’s Airborne Early Warning and Control Programme

GlobalEye is a leading Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) solution that combines the best of Swedish and Canadian expertise and quality to match the requirements of Canada’s acquisition program.

The announcement coincides with Saab’s participation at CANSEC 2025, where the company is showcasing its advanced multi-domain airborne surveillance solution built on a Canadian platform.

Central to the GlobalEye system is the Bombardier Global 6000/6500 aircraft, a Canadian-made platform known for its long range, high endurance, and exceptional performance across all altitudes. Saab's proposal utilises this reliable platform, integrating advanced sensors and mission systems to provide the Canadian Armed Forces with a highly capable, cost-efficient, and sovereign solution.

Leveraging Saab's robust partnership with Bombardier, the GlobalEye initiative aligns with Canada's defence and industrial goals by enhancing domestic content, generating high-value employment opportunities, and incorporating Canadian companies into a global supply chain.

“GlobalEye is a truly strategic asset – a multi-domain solution that delivers increased situational awareness and rapid response capability across air, maritime, and land domains,” said Anders Carp, Deputy CEO of Saab. “With Bombardier’s world-class aircraft made right here in Canada, and Saab’s proven expertise in radar development and advanced surveillance technologies, we believe GlobalEye represents a unique opportunity to deliver unmatched capability while growing Canada’s aerospace and defence sectors.”

Saab leverages decades of experience in providing AEW&C systems globally, including to NATO and esteemed international partners. GlobalEye is a contemporary and highly capable solution that is both in production and operational.
