不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚——如果加拿大总理马克·卡尼的政府选择萨博的鹰狮（Gripen）战斗机，萨博将与加拿大几家顶尖航空航天企业合作，在加拿大制造该战机。
VICTORIA, British Columbia — Saab will collaborate with several of Canada’s top aerospace firms to build the Gripen fighter jet in Canada if the aircraft is selected by the Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government.
萨博于10月27日证实，如果加拿大政府购买该飞机，萨博已与多家企业结成联盟，以制造、交付并支持鹰狮E型先进多用途战斗机。
Saab confirmed Oct. 27 that it has formed alliances with several firms to build, deliver and support the Gripen E advanced multi-role fighter, should the Canadian government purchase the plane.
加拿大此前已承诺购买88架洛克希德·马丁公司的F-35战机，但在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普威胁在经济上使该国瘫痪并暗示其可能被吞并成为美国第51个州之后，这一采购计划目前正在接受审查。目前加拿大已为16架F-35付款。
Canada had already committed to buying 88 Lockheed Martin F-35s but that is under review after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to economically cripple the country and suggested it could be annexed to be the 51st state. At this point Canada has paid for 16 F-35s.
国防部女发言人安德烈-安妮·普林（Andrée-Anne Poulin）表示，其中两架飞机已分别于10月9日和10月22日移交给加拿大。
Two of the aircraft were transferred to Canada on Oct. 9 and Oct. 22, said Department of National Defence spokeswoman Andrée-Anne Poulin.
加拿大总理卡尼将决定是否购买其余的F-35，但他尚未透露何时会宣布这一决定。
Canadian Prime Minister Carney will decide whether the rest of the F-35s will be purchased but he has not indicated when he would announce his decision.
与此同时，加拿大政府正在研究是否应该购买鹰狮E型战机，将其作为F-35的替代品或是对美国战机的补充。对此，萨博已与加拿大企业展开了组队合作，包括位于魁北克省蒙特利尔的CAE公司、新斯科舍省哈利法克斯的IMP公司以及安大略省米西索加的麦哲伦航空航天公司（Magellan Aerospace）。
In the meantime, the Canadian government is examining whether it should purchase the Gripen E, either as an alternative to the F-35 or to complement the U.S. fighter jets. Saab has responded by forming a teaming arrangement with Canadian firms CAE of Montreal, Quebec; IMP of Halifax, Nova Scotia; and Magellan Aerospace of Mississauga, Ontario.
萨博总裁兼首席执行官米凯尔·约翰松（Micael Johansson）在10月27日的一份声明中表示：“通过与CAE、IMP和麦哲伦航空航天的合作，我们准备围绕鹰狮建立一个强健的加拿大工业生态系统，以实现作战效能、国家主权以及持久的工业和技术效益。”
“Together with CAE, IMP and Magellan Aerospace we are prepared to establish a strong Canadian industrial ecosystem around Gripen that delivers operational effect, national sovereignty and lasting industrial and technological benefits,” Micael Johansson, President and CEO of Saab, said in a statement Oct. 27.
萨博指出，如果加拿大决定采购该飞机，萨博已与IMP签署了一项组队协议，将在加拿大建立一个新的鹰狮战机总装线。IMP还将负责加拿大鹰狮战机的电气总装生产和在役支持。
Saab noted it has signed a teaming agreement with IMP to establish a new final assembly line, for the Gripen fighter in Canada, if Canada decides to acquire the aircraft. IMP will also be responsible for electrical assembly production and in-service support for Canada’s Gripens.
萨博还与麦哲伦航空航天签署了一项新的谅解备忘录，如果加拿大决定采购该飞机，将在加拿大本土制造先进的航空结构件、复合材料结构和结构组件。
Saab has also signed a new Memorandum of Understanding with Magellan Aerospace to provide local manufacturing of advanced aerostructures, composite structures and structural assemblies in Canada — again, if Canada decides to acquire the aircraft.
萨博此前已与CAE签署了一项谅解备忘录，将在加拿大提供先进的战斗机飞行员和技术员培训、任务系统工程以及支持与维持能力。萨博已经取得了深入加拿大市场的重大进展。
Saab has previously signed a Memorandum of Understanding with CAE to deliver advanced fighter pilot and technician training, mission systems engineering and support/sustainment capabilities in Canada. Saab has already made significant inroads into the Canadian market.
卡尼5月27日宣布，加拿大将从萨博购买6架“全球眼”（GlobalEye）预警机，作为不仅提升加拿大军事能力、而且激发国内国防生产活力协议的一部分。
Carney announced May 27 that Canada will purchase six GlobalEye early warning and control aircraft from Saab as part of deal to not only boost Canadian military capabilities but energize domestic defense production.
卡尼表示，拟议中的“全球眼”采购预计耗资超过50亿加元（约合36亿美元）。
Carney said the proposed GlobalEye purchase is estimated to cost more than $5 billion CAN ($3.6 billion).
“全球眼”基于庞巴迪6500（Bombardier 6500）公务机改装，该飞机在多伦多制造。卡尼表示，在向各盟国预计收到的“全球眼”飞机订单中，至少有三分之一将在加拿大制造。预计在未来15年内这将达到40架飞机。
GlobalEye is based on a Bombardier 6500 executive jet, an aircraft that is manufactured in Toronto. Carney said that at least one-third of the projected GlobalEye aircraft orders for various allies will be built in Canada. That is expected to be 40 aircraft over the next 15 years.
9月25日，加拿大政府宣布已与萨博达成一项协议，该协议将为即将进行的6架“全球眼”采购谈判提供框架。
On Sept. 25 the Canadian government announced it had worked out an agreement with Saab that will provide the framework for upcoming negotiations on the purchase of the six GlobalEyes.
国防采购国务秘书斯蒂芬·富尔（Stephen Fuhr）在宣布该协议时表示，加拿大将重点寻求建立支持“加拿大就业、创新和长期经济增长的伙伴关系，同时确保我们在需要时从值得信赖的伙伴那里获得能力”。
In announcing the agreement, Stephen Fuhr, Secretary of State for Defence Procurement, said Canada will be focusing on pursuing a partnership that supports “Canadian jobs, innovation, and long-term economic growth while ensuring we acquire capabilities from trusted partners when they are needed.”
