Saab unveils C-295 Erieye concept

Saab has unveiled a scale model of EADS Casa's C-295 tactical transport equipped with a Saab Microwave Systems Erieye airborne early warning and control radar.

"Some preliminary studies into the possibility of installing the Erieye on both the C-295 and ATR aircraft have been made," says the Swedish manufacturer, which first revealed plans to integrate the surveillance system on a high-wing aircraft design during July's Farnborough air show.

The company, which has previously produced Erieye systems based on the Saab 340 and Saab 2000 turboprops, says it will assess the level of interest in the new concept from a number of potential customers, including Poland.
