’FIFTH GENERATION’ VS GRIPEN

.

‛Fifth generation’ Gripen

Narrow-band stealth through fixed,

unadaptable airframe design.

Balanced signature with multi-role,

adaptable airframe.

Weapons load severely compromised by design.

Providers rigidly controlled

Total freedom in weapons choice,

supplier, integration and configuration.

Airframe design compromises guarantee

sub-optimal flight performance.

No engine/airframe design compromises,

performance drove the design

Minimal EW provision Maximum EW provision.

Connectivity with any other forces unknown. Connectivity with all other forces, air, land and sea: guaranteed.

System control conceded to foreign

government/corporation.

National sovereignty guaranteed with handover

of full software ownership.

Massive, complicated, expensive and unreliable logistical

footprint at large facilities, probably not under your control

Tiny operational and support footprint from warbase/roadbase if

required, with full ownership and oversight.

Unbelievable acquisition and operational costs Unbelievable acquisition and operational costs
