’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

national asset that protects sovereign
independence and underpins a secure
future for the nation.
