NATO is set to enhance its aerial surveillance with plans to purchase up to ten Saab GlobalEye aircraft, totaling $4.5 billion. This strategic acquisition aims to phase out the older Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS fleet, introducing advanced multi-domain monitoring to address contemporary threats. If the agreement is finalized soon, deliveries might commence in 2030, fortifying NATO’s readiness and early warning functions for the foreseeable future.
