A primary reason for our success as a platform operator is our up-to-date knowledge of operational requirements gained through our use of military pilots and the Gripen aircraft. The Gripen is the first fourth-generation fighter in active service. This means that we can provide a unique platform for testing weapons and other systems. The Gripen has been selected as a platform for test and verification for the Meteor and IRIS-T missiles. We can also operate other platforms for in-air evaluation of subsystems and equipment.
