Saab is ready to offer GlobalEye for Canada’s Airborne Early Warning and Control program.

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

At the heart of the GlobalEye system is the Bombardier Global 6000/6500 aircraft, a Canadian-built platform that delivers long range, high endurance and superior performance at all altitudes.

Saab’s proposal leverages this platform with a suite of sensors and mission systems, offering the Canadian Armed Forces a highly capable, cost-effective, and sovereign solution.

Through Saab’s strong partnership with Bombardier, the GlobalEye offering supports Canada’s defense and industrial objectives by maximizing domestic content, creating high-value jobs and integrating 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.

Carp added, “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 defense sectors.”
