A towed decoy is only an option on the current model, but the supplier choice is pending for the subsystem on the NG, says Eddy de la Motte, a Gripen International program official.Meanwhile, Saab is currently trying out different cockpit concepts for what the avionics setup should look like. That process also is expected to wrap up soon. Having completed two trial periods with the Gripen NG demonstrator, the aircraft will now go into a layup period to be modified into an avionics testbed. The aircraft is expected to return to flight next year, de la Motte says. The demonstrator so far has logged 175 flight hours.In turn, Gripen officials are keeping a close watch on the international marketplace, where they are tracking 17 countries for potential sales opportunities. A couple more opportunities are expected to emerge this year.But competition remains heated, with possible new entrants such as the Chinese-Pakistani JF-17. Gripen officials say they have seen no impact from the appearance of the JF-17 on the scene yet. However, one company official acknowledges “we have to watch the JF-17 as well.”<a href="http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_generic.jsp;AVNOWJSESSIONID=MILBaP2SZVucZ2TFfY8hjuoC1zr4tpD8L4eetLqIRHr5oX2f5QLS!756790295?specialEvent=farn10&id=news%2Fawx%2F2010%2F07%2F21%2Fawx_07_21_2010_p0-242689.xml&headline=Gripen+NG+Decoy+Decision+Nears">http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_generic.jsp;AVNOWJSESSIONID=MILBaP2SZVucZ2TFfY8hjuoC1zr4tpD8L4eetLqIRHr5oX2f5QLS!756790295?specialEvent=farn10&id=news%2Fawx%2F2010%2F07%2F21%2Fawx_07_21_2010_p0-242689.xml&headline=Gripen+NG+Decoy+Decision+Nears</a><img src="http://www.aereo.jor.br/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ALE-50-Decoy-580x424.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
