The HX Challenge testing and evaluation event for HX fighter candidates will be held in Finland in January and February 2020. The event will take place mainly in Pirkkala and will be hosted by the Satakunta Air Command.

The HX Challenge is being held in Finland so that each candidate’s performance can be verified under Finnish conditions and through tests designed in Finland. This procedure guarantees that the performance of each candidate’s systems and aircraft can be evaluated fairly.

The testing event will verify the performance claims made in the responses to the call for tenders, along with any performance values previously verified in laboratory tests. This way, it will be possible to assess the performance of the aircraft, systems and sensors in the Finnish operating environment. The Finnish operating environment and practices may also differ from those of other users in terms of weather and lighting conditions.

The testing event will evaluate the multi-role fighters and their systems on the ground and in the air, and at take-off and landing. Each candidate has been given five working days to demonstrate its performance in Finland.

JAS 39E - Gripen E/F

Gripen E/F is developed to counter and defeat the most advanced threats in a modern battlespace and to continously evolve in order to keep up wtih new challenges. We have built an intelligent fighter system that rapidly embraces new technology and tactics in a way that will always keep us ahead. That's why with Gripen E/F, you are forever ahead.
Defeat any threat. Anywhere
In the modern battlefield, fighters will have to act in high-threat environments such as contested air space and handle Integrated Air Defence Systems. Gripen E/F carries a variety of both active and passive measures to disrupt enemy efforts and protect itself and other friendly units. Its advanced electronic warfare system, similar to an electronic shield, allows disruption of the enemy’s ability to function effectively. This can be used either to assist in destruction of enemy assets or simply to reduce the enemy’s understanding and ability to react. All this while ensuring mission success, using the latest weaponry and countermeasures. This freedom of action allows Gripen E/F pilots to defeat any threat – anywhere, and return home safe.
See the unseen. Before being seen
The ability to attack or assess opposition at range is a key feature in Gripen E/F. Gripen utilizes all available data in the battle cloud – whether coming from Gripen fighters or other air, land or sea-based units, and fuses it locally on every platform but we are also fusing globally between fighters. The result: We see the unseen. Gripen E/F reduces its likelihood of being detected by relying on its passive sensors, or through active jamming. This means that weapons can be used either beyond the point at which opposing forces can respond or without them ever realising Gripen was there.

HX-hanke - HX Program – new fighters for Finland by 2025

The planned service life of Hornets, Finland's current fighters, will end by 2030. The HX Program was set up to replace the current fleet with new fighters.
Fighters are a significant part of Finland’s defence capability
The primary purpose of Finland’s defence capability is to establish deterrence against the use of military force and the threat of its use, as well as to repel attacks on Finland. To perform this task, Finland needs fighters. They are an essential part of the air defence system and Defence Forces’ capability in engaging land- and sea-based targets. The fighter fleet’s capabilities also supplement the Defence Forces’ intelligence, surveillance and command environment.
Fighters cannot be replaced by other systems. Ground-based air defence systems and unmanned aerial vehicles would not have the same capabilities.
