+The JA37C was developed during the 1980s, with the JAS 39 Gripen still far away of being ready, the C variant of the Viggen extended the lifetime of the aircraft. The aircraft received access to countermeasures, a new signal processor, a new PS 46/A radar with the ability to follow multiple targets at once and display them for the pilot. The aircraft served up until the introduction of the JA37D, which was introduced in the 1990s, all JA37Cs were converted to the new D standard.
