	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.

	The SAAB JAS 39 Gripen
		In June 1992, SAAB got the go-ahead for building the two-seat JAS 39B, and the government formally signed off on the option for 110 more Gripens, which were to be built to an improved "Batch 2" standard.
		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.
		SAAB was forced to seek international sales for the Gripen, since the Swedish government contract for the fighter was so tight-fisted that Gripen International's president, Hans Kruger, once said he'd "lost his shirt, tie, and jacket on the Batch 1 deal."

		The training programme is broad and varied as the JAS 39 is to be used for three mission types: Fighter (Jakt), Attack (Attack) and Reconnaissance (Spanings).
		All in all, the JAS 39 is a living proof of what a fourth generation fighter jet is capable of.

		The Gripen is similar yet slightly smaller than the next generation of fighters appearing in the US and Western Europe ie: the F-22, the Rafale, and the Eurofighter.
		Well known car maker Saab built the plane while the engines (similar to those in the F/A-18) were assembled by Volvo, Ericson Radar Electronics and FFV Aerotect also played their parts.

		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.
		This group includes Saab as the primary contractor, Volvo as engine developer, Ericsson with responsibility for the radar, and FFV Aerotech developing many avionics.

	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.

		Saab has already laid off 1,000 people in 2003 and 2004; and including this latest move, notice has now been given to 760 people in 2005.
