Gripen submits response for Denmark’s supplementary request for information
Following the issue of the Danish authorities’ original Request for Information (RFI) and the subsequent submission of the Gripen teams’ formal proposal response in December 2005, the Danish evaluation committee requested certain additional information and clarifications from the competing suppliers. The Gripen team’s response was formally handed-over, on time, by Gripen International’s Managing Director Johan Lehander.
“The Gripen team is delighted to provide its response to the Royal Danish Air Force Air Materiel Command’s (“Flyvematerielkommandoen”) request for supplementary information. We are confident that the responses and proposals we have submitted will meet, or exceed the Royal Danish Air Force Air Materiel Command’s requirements” said Johan Lehander when the Supplementary Request For Information (SRFI) response was delivered today, Thursday 29 November 2007.
Lehander continued “When the day comes for Denmark to replace its ageing U.S. F-16´s, we see Gripen as an excellent replacement. The aircraft is very capable, operationally proven in service and also the most cost-effective solution. Add to this, the outstanding level of Industrial Co-operation and high levels of Technology Transfer we can offer, and I am certain we have an unbeatable offer.”
‘Gripen NG’ (Next Generation) is based on the proven ‘C’ and ‘D’ versions of the Gripen fighter, already in NATO-use, but further enhanced and tailored specifically to meet the needs of the Royal Danish Air Force (“Flyvevåbnet”), thus providing the ideal solution for a F-16 replacement.
