La última subversión del Gripen C/D es la MS20 (se agradece información sobre la misma

La última subversión del Gripen C/D es la MS20 (se agradece información sobre la misma), en servicio en Suecia desde 2016 y a la que han actualizado recientemente los checos. Esperan estar listos para entregar el primer Gripen E a finales de 2019, ahora van a comenzar las pruebas de lanzamientos de armas. Recordemos que entre Suecia y Brasil hay 96 Gripen E/F pedidos.

The SwAF fields 73 single-seat Gripen C and 24 twin-seat Gripen D aircraft that have all be upgraded to the MS20 standard (the final such block for the Gripen C/D). Essentially a software package, MS20 includes integration of the Meteor and GBU-39 SDB I; improved radar modes; a digital close-air support capability; increased Link 16 connectivity; civil navigation enhancements; chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) protection for the pilot; night-capable reconnaissance using the SPK 39 Modular Reconnaissance Pod II; and a ground collision avoidance system (GCAS).

With 60 of the latest Gripen E set to enter service between 2022 and 2026, the SwAF originally intended to retire its Gripen Cs (the Gripen Ds would be retained for pilot training) over the same period. However, in May 2017 the service disclosed to Jane’s and other defence media that it was looking at options for retaining a number of these older aircraft to make up an anticipated shortfall in Gripen E numbers.

The Block II version of the F/A-18E/F introduced a decade ago included a multi-sensor integration function, but it was limited to the two primary sensors – APG-79 radar and ALQ-214 ECM system – on a single aircraft only.

Por cierto, eso último ¿significa que la fuerza aérea sueca se está oliendo que le recortarán parte de los 60 Gripen E previstos?, que ya eran menos de los que quería.

Any country which does significant transaction with any defense or intelligence agency of Russia, would be sanctioned by either stopping the sale of any new US defense equipment to the country or discontinuing the supply of essential spare parts of any previously supplied US hardware.

Esa fusión "múltiple", planeada para el Block III, es llamada Common Tactical Picture (CTP). Y ya de paso, como resumen de los cambios del Block III:
