	JAS 39 Gripen - an overview, technical data and photos
		The first JAS 39 Gripen squadron was declared fully operational with the wing F 7 in Såtenäs starting on Oct 1:st 1997, the second was in 1998.
		Gripen affords far more flexibility than earlier generations of combat aircraft, and it's operating costs will only be about two thirds of those for Viggen, in spite of it being able to in all areas perform at least as well or slightly better, and in some cases much better.
		Gripen is a lightweight fighter, with an empty weight of about six tons, a normal take off weight of less than nine tons and a max take off weight of in the current version less than 13 tons.

	"Gripen DK" , version offered to Denmark - Military Photos
		Gripen DK is the response to a Request for Information, RFI, for a replacement of the current fleet of F-16 fighters, issued by the Royal Danish Air Force Air Materiel Command ("Flyvematerielkommandoen").
		The Gripen DK is based on the proven C- and D-versions of the Gripen fighter, already in NATO-use, but further enhanced and tailored specifically to suit the needs of the Royal Danish Air Force ("Flyvevabnet"), thus providing the ideal solution for a F-16 replacement.
		The Gripen is the new age of multirole aircraft besides the Eurofighter.

	Saab JAS 39 Gripen
		The Gripen now competes in the export market against the best combat aircraft from Europe, the USA and Russia and has proved to be a very attractive solution for many air forces.
		The Czech Republic selected the Gripen as it's future fighter on 10 December 2001, but a formal contract had to be delayed after extensive flood damage throughout the country in mid Agust 2002 forced a short-term change in priorities.
		Gripen came a close second to the F-16 in Poland, but was unable to overcome a specially tailored financial package and heavy political pressure from the US government.

	Air Force Technology - Gripen - Multirole Fighter Aircraft
		The Gripen multi-role fighter aircraft, developed by Saab, was first flown in December 1988 and entered operational service with the Swedish Air Force in 1997.
		Gripen is equipped to carry an extensive range of air-to-air and air-to-surface weaponry.
		The distinctive profile of the Gripen derives from the aerodynamic structure of the delta wing and foreplane canards.

	JAS 39 Gripen
		Consequently, the Gripen is 50 percent lighter than its predecessor, the 37 Viggen, but is still capable to carry the same weight of ordnance as the Viggen.
		Gripen is sold to the Republic of South Africa and the Czech Republic.
		For ground attack missions, the Gripen, in addition to the built-in cannon is able to carry four different types of weapons.

	The SAAB JAS 39 Gripen
		The Gripen is a canard-configuration aircraft, with a cropped delta wing with a sweep of 45 degrees, and all-moving canard forewings with a sweep of 45 degrees and dihedral.
		The Gripen was designed from the outset to use the FBW system, which was evaluated on a modified Viggen.
		Although the Gripen has lost some other deals, most significantly a large Polish order that went to the F-16, it is a strong contender for Brazilian requirement for 24 new fighters, with a possible ultimate total of 60.

		Since the Gripen is designed for rapid dispersal to nonoperational airfields (such as straight roads), supporting equipment must be both simple and mobile.
		As the Gripen is software-driven, it is easier to adapt it to carry new weapons, sensors or other equipment and even items specified by new customers would have to conform to the basic specifications if problems are to be avoided.
		Meanwhile, the Polish request for proposal was submitted last week and two single-seat Gripens are demonstrating their ability to interoperate with NATO and other international forces during a dispersed operations defense exercise with the Polish Air Force.

	Gripen Operates Without Runways in Poland
		Swedish air force Gripens are in action in Poland where they have deployed to take part in the Polish air force's annual series of dispersed operations exercises.
		This is the second time that Gripens have made the journey to Poland for the DOL exercise, which is being conducted near Szcecin.
		Gripen was specifically designed to use Sweden's Bas 90 system of concealed wartime airbases that are hidden among forests and hills, away from the vulnerable fixed sites used for peacetime operations.

	Airshow-Acts Gripen
		From the beginning the Gripen was designed with 'information superiority' being the driving force, not necessarily aircraft performance as with most manufacturers.
		The basic concept behind the Gripen weapon system was to have a versatile and fully integrated weapons system that made the job of the pilot as easy as possible.
		In the Gripen the joystick is mounted on top of the throttle unit (which has a novel design in its own right), allowing movement of the throttle while still using the radar controller - very difficult to describe but very easy to use!

	JAS 39 Gripen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gripen is already in operational service with the Swedish Air Force which has ordered 204 aircraft (including 28 dual-seater).
		The Chilean Air Force and the Brazilian Air Force have showed interest in the JAS 39 Gripen but both air forces delayed any involvement though Chile is certainly interested for the fighter to go with their F-16's and upgraded Mirage 5's (called Elkans and Panteras) to compliment their already strong air force.
		In June 2005 a Gripen from airwing F 17 at Kallinge apparently ceased to obey commands from the pilot.

	Gripen
		The Gripen is the first Swedish aircraft that can be used for interception, ground-attack and reconnaissance (hence the Swedish abbreviation JAS -- Fighter (J), Attack (A) and Reconnaissance (S) in Swedish) and is now successively replacing the Draken and the Viggen.
		After an evaluation process, Parliament decided in June 1982 to go ahead with the Swedish project and the Defence Materiel Administration signed a contract for development of the JAS 39 Gripen, and the final flight tests were completed in December of 1996.
		Currently, the Gripens used by the Swedish Air Force are armed with AIM-120 AMRAAM, AIM-9 Sidewinder, the Saab Dynamics RBS 15 for ship targets, and the Maverick ground attack missile.

	Gripen News Thread - Military Photos
		Saab-led Gripen International is studying future development options for its Gripen multirole fighter, including the possible installation of a more powerful engine, increasing the type’s overall size and maximum take-off weight, and the potential availability of a carrierborne strike variant.
		While the Gripen’s current Volvo Aero-supplied RM12 turbofan engine could be further modified to deliver a 10-15% increase in thrust to meet future fighter requirements in Denmark and Norway, company officials say the installation of thelarger General Electric F414 could provide 25% more power, increasing the aircraft’s operating range and payload.
		The Swedish air force is to conduct its first major overseas deployment of the Saab JAS39C/D Gripen fighter in early July, with seven of its aircraft to be flown to the USA to participate in the inaugural Red Flag Alaska exercise.

	SAAB JAS-39 "Gripen"
		Nearly 175 Gripens were delivered prior to the start of hostilities at which point deliveries stopped; however, during the war the Gripen showed that the fighter was equal to its contemporary light multi-role fighters such as early model F-16 and F/A-18 fighters.
		The Gripen saw little combat use in the interlude between the 1st and the 2nd Robotech Wars and eventually all the UEG Gripens were placed into reserve by 2027.
		Although these reports were never confirmed, the Gripens ability to use small stretches of highway to take-off and land and coupled with the fact that the Gripen uses a conventional power plant would make the fighter desirable to resistance groups.

		The Gripen has a window of opportunity where it is a great choice in the balance of cost and capabilities.
		Downsides for the Gripen are it is range limited (although conformal tanks could alleviate this, particularly in the strike roll) and it is under-powered for a generation 4.5 airframe (t/w is very similar to F/A-18C Hornet).
		The Gripen's structural members must be sufficiently capable of handling the additional 4000lbs of thrust.

		The Gripen was developed as a replacement for Sweden's aging Viggen and Draken fighters.
		While the Viggen family consisted of several individual models tailored to specific duties, the goal of the Gripen program was to develop a fully multi-role plane capable of performing an entire suite of fighter, attack, and reconnaissance missions.
		The Gripen also employs a delta wing and canard layout with saw-toothed leading edge slats and large elevon control surfaces.
