NATO is reportedly planning to replace its AWACS fleet, with some outlets suggesting the Saab GlobalEye jet as the intended replacement. However, there is uncertainty about the details of the replacement plan, with one outlet reporting that procurement plans for the E-7 Wedgetail radar jet have been axed, and another indicating that the contract may have been awarded to Saab and Bombardier. The replacement of the existing AWACS aircraft, which are American-made, may involve a shift towards a Swedish or Swedish-Canadian alternative.
