Zitat:Saab showcases Swedish KFS future combat aircraft concept [...]

Saab has showcased one of the concepts it is developing for Sweden's Future Combat Aircraft Concept (Konceptet Framtidens Stridsflyg: KFS) effort. Revealed as a full-scale mockup at the Jubilee Air Show at Malmen Air Base in Linköping, Sweden, on 22 August 2026, the unmanned A3-001 is one of at least six conceptual KFS designs that the company is known to be working on for the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (Försvarets materielverk: FMV).

“The uncrewed [A3-001] platform … could complement Gripen and future crewed combat air capabilities. The concept is envisioned for high-risk missions, such as electronic warfare, suppression of enemy air defences, and precision strike operations in highly contested environments. With low observability, a high degree of autonomy, and the ability to operate across multiple domains, the concept illustrates a potential component of a future combat air capability,” Saab said.
