This comes as Canada contemplates a mixed fleet of F-35 and Saab Gripen fighter jets, along with GlobalEye aicraft. Saab's pitch includes this concept of data sovereignty:
''Gripen data will also be housed here, securely within Canadian borders," Saab spokesperson Sierra Fullerton said. "With the fighter mission system, communications, and technical data all hosted in Canada, Gripen exceeds all industrial, security, and controlled goods requirements. With Gripen, the Royal Canadian Air Force will have full, independent control over aircraft, software, and sensitive data.''
