A plan for the industrial and technological base of future European military aerospace moved forward with the signing of a contract for a one-year study to be conducted by Sweden’s Saab group. Alexander Weis, chief executive of the European Defence Agency, and Mats Palmberg, vice president and head of business development and marketing for Saab Aeronautics, signed the agreement, valued at approximately $512,000, here at the Farnborough show.

Saab has been commissioned to map out Europe’s current military aerospace and industrial landscape, and identify gaps where research-and-development projects should be initiated to provide the necessary technology needed for the continent’s Future Air System (FAS). Under the FAS4Europe contract, Saab is to report back to the European Defence Agency in October 2011.
