The Swedish-built and designed Saab JAS 39 Gripen is a single-engine, single-seat multi-role all-weather fighter. Originally intended to replace the aging J-37 Viggen, it surpasses its older, larger brother in many ways. The new Gripen (Swedish for Gryphon) utilizes fourth-generation technology, an efficient augmented turbofan engine, all-digital fly-by-wire controls, and canard wing control surfaces. The Gripen is capable of carrying nearly all ordnance available to NATO allies.
