2. THE ISR MARKET
The Airborne ISR market is growing
Growth is proportional to, but lagging, the threats & challenges
The post - Afghanistan era will lead nations to re-evaluate their
mission and ISR / ISTAR requirements
We see more diverse threats across all domains
Traditional and asymmetric challenges
Cyber on the increase

45. Saab has a very long and good relationship with FAB and
Embraer and we are very proud of receiving this contract. The
content of the modernization has been decided in close
cooperation with FAB
Saab modernizes the Radar and C2
Latest version of signal processing and data processing
C2 with additional consoles
C2 with new Hardware and Software
Brazilian Company Atech is a partner and provide some specific
Brazilian SW modules.
Capability increase
Radar especially in the field of slow and small targets
Detection also of hovering helicopters and other new radar modes.
More operators will get a clearer picture and with more decision support
In short, this will provide the Brazilian Air Force with a fully
modern, state-of-the art, system with capabilities for todays
and tomorrow’s challenges.
UPPGRADE OF E-99/M TO FAB
(BRAZILIAN AIR FORCE)
46. SOME EXAMPLES OF RECENT
SPIRAL DEVELOPMENTS
Increased Identification Capability
Introducing ADS-B for Cooperative Air contacts
Introducing AIS for Cooperative Surface Contacts
Latest generation COTS in C2 allows new map engine
Gives the operator new tools
Radar : Augmenting the Multi-Role
Always ongoing improvements in performance and functionality
Sea Surveillance: Small Sea Target providing unique WISR to the
MPA/MSA
Ground Surveillance: Providing long-range GMTI capability
MEC-MS 006, Issue 1
Page 46
47. ADS-B TRIAL: LONG RANGE CAPABILITY
Example shown in picture: 723 km
(277 NM)
(Normal ADS-B
Air-Air: 170 – 200 Nm
Air-ground: 180 NM for high altitude)
MEC-MS 006, Issue 1

48. MARITIME SURVEILLANCE CAPABILITY:
NOW INCLUDING SMALL TARGETS
From the largest ships down to jet-skis and small boats, e.g. rib boats,
rubber boats.
Littoral and Blue water
Integrated AIS
49. ERIEYE provides a new capability in the ground surveillance
arena.
• Long distance, wide area surveillance of small moving vehicles at
low velocities
i.e. combining the small target detection capability of a Ground
Surveillance System with the coverage of an AEW-system.
