Saab Names No Customer, No Specs & No Timeline, But Is Moving Forward With Its New Unmanned Fighter

Sweden’s Saab has released a teaser trailer revealing its vision for a next-generation Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), designed to operate alongside the Gripen E/F in a loyal wingman role. The concept is the clearest public glimpse yet of Saab’s plans for autonomous combat aviation as the company works to keep the Gripen family relevant well into the 2040s. With exports rising and European air forces increasingly embracing crewed-uncrewed teaming, a Swedish CCA has become the logical next step in the country’s combat aircraft strategy.
