The new radar system is marketed on the back of a Bombardier Global 6000 business jet. It is the successor of the Saab Erieye, of which 22 have been delivered on different aircraft to various countries: Brazil (5 R-99 (Embraer E145/Saab Erieye)),
Greece (4 EMB-145H (Embraer E145/Saab Erieye),
Pakistan (4 Saab Erieye 2000 (Saab 2000),
United Arab Emirates (2 Saab 2000 Erieye,
plus 2 Bombardier Global 6000/Erieye ordered),
Saudi Arabia (2 Saab 2000 Erieye (Saab 2000),
Sweden (2 Saab S 100D (Saab 340/Saab Erieye)),
Thailand (2 S 100B (Saab 340/Saab Erieye),
Mexico (1 E-99 (Embraer E145/Saab Erieye).
The United Arab Emirates will be the first to field a version of the new radar mounted onto the Global 6000, of an order placed in November 2015. Although there is some criticism in Swedish parliament against selling the AEW&C system to countries at war (the UAE fights in Yemen), the deal is considered to go through.
Work on the Global 6000 and the radar system will be done at five Saab facilities in Sweden: Gothenburg, Linköping, Järfälla, Arboga and Luleå.

S 100B Argus, two were sold to the Royal Thai Air Force, delivered in 2011 and 2012 to serve besides the Saab JAS 39 Gripen multi-role fighters of the RTAF.
The remaining two (ex-)SweAF S 100Bs are to be delivered to the United Arab Emirates Air Force as the Saab 340/Erieye AEW&C. That’s right, with the Erieye. http://airheadsfly.com/2013/11/24/speci ... urboprops/Pakistani Saab 2000 destroyedThe Pakistani Air Force received four Saab 2000 AEW&C (Erieye) aircraft, plus a ‘bare’ Saab 2000 for training. The PAKAF ran in some trouble in August this year, when the Taliban attacked Minhas Airbase in Pakistan,
destroying one Saab 2000 AEW&C and severely damaging another two. According to several sources the damaged aircraft need to be repaired for millions to bring the aircraft back to operational status.
