This agreement builds on the worldwide cooperation agreement signed between CAE and Saab last year, which positions CAE as Saab’s preferred partner for training and simulation solutions across its AEW&C platforms. The Canada-specific teaming agreement represents a natural next step in this strategic partnership, reinforcing both companies’ commitment to delivering a comprehensive solution tailored to Canada’s operational requirements.

Leveraging Saab’s leadership in airborne surveillance and CAE’s advanced simulation capabilities, the partnership is designed to strengthen mission effectiveness and operational readiness for the Canadian Armed Forces.
“CAE’s world-class defence expertise will be critical to enabling a high-performance AEW&C capability for Canada,” said Matthew Bromberg, President and Chief Executive Officer, CAE. “Building on our longstanding collaboration and trust with Saab, this agreement reflects our shared commitment to delivering innovative, integrated solutions that strengthen operational performance and support Canada’s defence priorities.”
The partnership also includes exploring broader areas of collaboration through mission system support, advanced training, Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) integration and simulation solutions for the Canadian program.
“GlobalEye delivers cutting-edge multi-domain surveillance, offering long-range detection and advanced situational awareness across air, maritime, and land domains. We value the opportunity to further strengthen our partnership with CAE and to collaborate on the Canadian program, which will also serve as a stepping-stone for future opportunities,” said Micael Johansson, President and CEO Saab.
This agreement also highlights CAE’s commitment to supporting Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy and economic growth. The CAE and Saab solution for the Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) program will contribute to job creation and skills development, strengthening Canada’s aerospace and defence ecosystem while supporting sovereign capability development.
