Aerodynamic layout and design
Requirements asked for:

Good turn performance
Excellent handling qualities
Low buffeting level, gust alleviation (low level operations)
Supersonic speed at all levels
Good acceleration performance
High external stores capability
Long range performance
Short field operations
Stable weapons platform

Aerodynamic layout and design
Requirements resulted in:

Modified delta wing with canard
Relaxed static stability in pitch
Fly-by-wire flight control system
Feathered canards resulted in stable aircraft,
gave time for safe ejection

Why an Electronic Flight Control System, EFCS?
Improved performance
Advantage in installation (space and weight)
Easy to create redundancy,
battle damage resistance
Possible to make advanced calculations
(load factor limits, auto recovery etc.)
Reduced pilot workload
Easy to monitor
Flexibility with potential to enhance software
Low-cost mass produced components

FCS Handling qualities
Flying qualities optimized depending on:

External stores, altitude, speed
Op. mode: Taxi, Ground roll, Lift off, Combat, PAL, Aiming
Drag minimized through trimmed lift between canard and main wing
Cuts through the air
Leading edge flaps to reduce buffeting level and drag
Automatic gust alleviation
Precise response easy to fly formation, land and handle on ground
Very small effect of external stores
Outer loop functions can easily be developed

Tactical scenario, example

‘Cobra’ Helmet Mounted Display (HMD)
The Gripen ‘Cobra’ HMD system is the latest
version of the ‘Striker’ family
Includes Night Vision Cameras and day
camera on the helmet
Electro Optical trackers
In 2004 centrifuge tests were carried out in UK

and Sweden
In May 2004 the ‘Cobra’ HMD System was flown
for the first time in the Gripen - This was the first
flight with a modern binocular HMD system in the
–3g to +9g envelope
In service date planned for 2008

Multimodal Display Techniques
Tactile Indications
Experience Tactile
Indications
Evaluated the use of tactile indications as
navigational aid in a ground based scenario
Tested with, and without, 3D-audio as a
complement.
Preliminary results are very promising regarding
spatial awareness and the ability to discriminate
the indications.

Multimodal Interaction Techniques
Direct Voice Input
Experience Direct Voice
Input
•Direct Voice Input has been tested and
evaluated during different kind of scenarios
•Advantages were found regarding High Level
Commands, in other words: One voice command
replaced a chain of ordinary keyboard and
marker selections
