| Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada has entered into negotiations to buy Swedish-made Saab early-warning aircraft technology, picking a non-U.S. supplier as he makes good on a promise to reduce spending on American military gear. |
| Mr. Carney announced the selection at the annual CANSEC defence trade show in Ottawa Wednesday. |
| He said Canada will proceed with the Swedish GlobalEye system, made by Saab. Other contenders were the Aeris X by L3Harris and the E-7 Wedgetail by Boeing. |
| The GlobalEye early warning system will be installed on Global 6500 jets made by Bombardier in Canada. |
