Saab At The Farnborough International Airshow 2016
Defence and security company Saab will scale new heights at the 2016 Farnborough International Airshow (FIA2016) where we proudly present the all-new Saab Experience.
For nearly 80 years, Saab has challenged perceptions and pushed the boundaries of what is possible. At the Farnborough International Airshow (11-17 July 2016), we break new ground in meeting with our customers, industry colleagues and friends from around the world with the launch of the Saab Experience.
The Saab Experience incorporates the latest advances in augmented reality, virtual reality and holograms. It will be a meeting place and focal point at the show, where we deliver an immersive experience with full control of lighting, sound, climate and the environment. It will give visitors a new level of insight as they explore Saab’s unique and revolutionary products.
Inside the Saab Experience, you will find dedicated displays devoted to key Saab products. We will showcase Saab’s capabilities across the full spectrum of Gripen fighter, airborne surveillance, ISR, air defence and radar, digital air traffic management, air support and commercial aerospace technology.
Alongside the Saab Experience, you will discover full-scale exhibits including the ground-breaking Giraffe 4A multi-role radar, the unique Remote Tower digital air traffic solution and the all-new Gripen E advanced multi-role fighter.
You can find the Saab Experience at the centre of the Farnborough site, outside the main exhibition halls and at the mid-point of the static display areas (site OE14). It is open to all visitors at the show.
