瑞典防务公司萨博推出了A3协作作战飞机概念设计1，这款自主、无尾、超音速的双三角翼无人作战飞机将作为其格里芬E战斗机的高端补充1。该项目是瑞典应对2040年代后续有人战斗机需求的技术储备1，萨博计划在2030年代初期快速推进这一项目的发展1。
萨博正在开发两款演示验证机以验证相关技术1。其中A1演示机计划在未来15个月内首飞，将采用通用电气F414发动机1；A2演示机则计划在本十年末首飞，配备内置武器舱1。瑞典防务物资局FMV已资助了这两款演示机的开发1。从成本考量看，A3的采购成本可能约为格里芬战斗机成本的一半，全寿命成本可能约为三分之一1。
为支撑无人作战飞机的自主作战能力建设，萨博建立了AI战斗机飞行员学院来训练无人系统的自主能力1。瑞典政府计划在2030年前就是否继续国内研发下一代战斗机做出决策1。
Swedish defense contractor Saab has introduced the A3 collaborative combat aircraft, an autonomous, tailless, supersonic unmanned fighter designed to complement its Gripen E fighter jet.1 The concept represents a strategic technology reserve to address Sweden's post-2040s manned fighter requirements, with development planned to accelerate throughout the early 2030s.1
The A3 features a twin-delta wing configuration and autonomous flight capabilities.1 Saab is developing two demonstrator variants: the A1, scheduled for its first flight within the next 15 months and powered by a General Electric F414 engine, and the A2, expected to fly by the end of this decade equipped with internal weapons bays.1 Sweden's Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) is funding both demonstrator programs.1
Cost projections indicate the A3's procurement expense could reach approximately half that of the Gripen fighter, with its full lifecycle cost potentially amounting to roughly one-third.1 In support of autonomous operations, Saab has established an AI fighter pilot academy to train autonomous system capabilities for unmanned aircraft.1 The Swedish government is expected to decide by 2030 whether to proceed with domestic development of the next generation of combat aircraft.1
