GlobalEye

In February 2016, Swedish defence company Saab announced the launch of a programme to integrate a variant of their Erieye radar system upon the Canadian Bombardier Global 6000, a long range business jet, to produce a specialised airborne early warning & control (AEW&C) aircraft. This platform is commonly referred to as GlobalEye.Stevenson, Beth.

Saab stated that the launch was in response to expressions of interest from potential customers.Hoyle, Craig. [https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/uae-deal-drives-interest-in-saabs-globaleye-425684/ "UAE deal drives interest in Saab's GlobalEye."] Flight International, 24 May 2016.

Prior to the development of the GlobalEye, Saab had fitted the Erieye onto several separate AEW platforms, including the Swedish Saab 340 AEW&C and the Brazilian Embraer R-99.Hoyle, Craig. [https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/analysis-how-skibox-unit-defends-swedish-skies-437307/ "ANALYSIS: How 'Skibox' unit defends Swedish skies."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190813175713/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/analysis-how-skibox-unit-defends-swedish-skies-437307/ |date=2019-08-13 }} Flight International, 22 May 2017. To facilitate the programme, Saab secured a supplemental type certificate, authorising the modification of the existing Global 6000 to the GlobalEye configuration.

The manufacturing process involves the delivery of completed Global 6000s to Saab's facility in Linköping, where they undergo an extensive conversion process. Modifications include the strengthening of both the airframe and wing, enabling the carriage of the Erieye radar, along with other sensors and wingtip-mounted equipment for electronic warfare purposes. Aerodynamic changes include the adoption of an extended tailfin, along with several ventral strakes located beneath the rear fuselage. Additional power and cooling equipment is fitted. To improve survivability, a self-protection suite comprising laser and radar warning receivers, as well as countermeasures dispensers, is installed. In early 2018, Saab observed that it could produce up to three GlobalEyes per year, and could begin deliveries within three years of receiving a contract.

On 23 February 2018, Saab unveiled the first GlobalEye surveillance aircraft.Hoyle, Craig.

By July 2018, the flight test programme was focused on expanding the aircraft's flight envelope.

In May 2019, it neared the end of the flight testing phase relating to certification.

The primary sensor of the GlobalEye is its Erieye ER airborne early warning (AEW) radar. Weighing approximately 1 tonne, it is mounted atop the twinjet's fuselage. Saab has cited up to 450 km (216 nm) range for the AEW radar system when flown at an operating altitude of 30,000 ft,{{cite news |url= https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/analysis-saab-on-a-high-with-globaleye-442857/ |title= Saab on a high with GlobalEye |date= 6 November 2017 |first= Craig |last= Hoyle |work= Flightglobal |access-date= 6 November 2017 |archive-date= 6 November 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20171106162438/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/analysis-saab-on-a-high-with-globaleye-442857/ |url-status= live }} and 550 km at 35,000 ft.{{cite web |url=https://www.saab.com/globalassets/markets/finland/saab-hx-media-brief---helsinki-airshow-july-5th-2021.pdf |title=Saab HX Update |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210806084758/https://www.saab.com/globalassets/markets/finland/saab-hx-media-brief---helsinki-airshow-july-5th-2021.pdf |archive-date=2021-08-06 |url-status=live}} In comparison with earlier versions of the Erieye radar, Saab claims it has achieved a 70% increase in detection range, achieved via the use of new technology, such as gallium nitride transmit/receive modules. According to Saab Group, the GlobalEye is capable of detecting and tracking a combination of airborne and surface targets, the latter on both land and sea, while mission times of up to eleven hours in duration are possible.{{cite web |url=http://saabgroup.com/media/news-press/news/2016-02/saabs-globaleye-redefines-the-airborne-surveillance-market |title=Saab's GlobalEye Redefines The Airborne Surveillance Market |date=16 February 2016 |work=Saab Corporate |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160217093227/http://saabgroup.com/Media/news-press/news/2016-02/saabs-globaleye-redefines-the-airborne-surveillance-market/ |archive-date=2016-02-17 |url-status=dead}}

In addition to the AEW radar, the GlobalEye is equipped with additional sensors. These include the Seaspray 7500E maritime surveillance radar, provided by Italian defence conglomerate Leonardo. The Seaspray radar features synthetic-aperture radar and ground-oriented moving target indication modes.{{cite web |url=https://www.leonardocompany.com/en/press-release-detail/-/detail/seaspray-aesa-globaleye |title=Leonardo AESA surveillance radar technology will be on-board new Saab GlobalEye |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124095631/https://www.leonardocompany.com/en/press-release-detail/-/detail/seaspray-aesa-globaleye |archive-date=2020-11-24 |url-status=live}} The GlobalEye also has an electro-optical/infrared sensor, which is situated underneath the forward fuselage. Other mission equipment includes data links, voice and satellite communications and a command and control suite, the latter comprising five onboard operator stations.

The GlobalEye can be operated without any onboard operators, streaming its surveillance output to ground-based stations instead. GlobalEye can simultaneously perform airborne, maritime and ground surveillance duties.{{Cite web|url=https://saab-seminar.creo.se/160512/saab_seminar|title=Seminar About Saab's Sensor Technologies|access-date=2021-09-05|archive-date=2021-09-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210905212605/https://saab-seminar.creo.se/160512/saab_seminar|url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=https://www.saab.com/contentassets/63a8d60ee513403c9ca149c3ae20053e/globaleye |title=GlobalEye Performance beyond limits |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110235040/https://www.saab.com/contentassets/63a8d60ee513403c9ca149c3ae20053e/globaleye |archive-date=2021-01-10 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=https://www.saab.com/markets/brazil/press-releases/2016/globaleye-redefines-airborne-surveillance |title=GlobalEye Redefines Airborne Surveillance |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027230417/https://www.saab.com/markets/brazil/press-releases/2016/globaleye-redefines-airborne-surveillance |archive-date=2020-10-27 |url-status=live}} It has been offered with three layers of capability: the baseline AESA and C2 system for air, land and sea surveillance, along with some electronic intelligence functions; a version with additional infrared and sea-search functionality; and one with a dedicated signals intelligence (SIGINT) system.
