US EditionSaab signs deal with Canadian AI firm Cohere on Global Eye jets
Saab partners with Canadian AI firm Cohere to enhance Global Eye surveillance aircraft amid a $5 billion Canadian surveillance plane procurement, officials said.
- On Monday, Swedish defence contractor Saab signed an agreement with Canadian AI firm Cohere to explore partnering on its Global Eye surveillance aircraft for Canadian and international operations.
- The federal government plans to spend upward of $5 billion on six surveillance aircraft, with the 2025 Liberal platform committing to buy 'Canadian-made airborne early warning and control aircraft' to support domestic industry.
- Saab CEO Micael Johansson told The Canadian Press that pilot projects will explore using Cohere's large language models for 'information-digestion' tasks connected to the Global Eye, which utilizes Bombardier's Global 6500 airframes.
- Cohere has also teamed up with German submarine manufacturer TKMS and South Korean firm Hanwha Oceans, both bidding on the Royal Canadian Navy's contract to supply up to 12 submarines.
- Boeing's E-7 Wedgetail, based on the 737 airframe, remains a likely competitor for the surveillance contract, following Saab's runner-up position in Canada's previous competition for 88 F-35 fighter jets.
