Each engine capable of providing up to 60 kN (13,000lbf) of dry thrust and over 90 kN (20,000lbf) with afterburners. Eurofighter CEO Enzo Casolini said of the decision “This is an important step in the Eurofighter programme and will ensure that Typhoon continues to lead the way as the world’s best new generation multi-role combat aircraft. This approach enables the flexibility we need to respond to multiple Customer requirements in terms of the specific capabilities they require, and the time in which they want them.Delivery of complex requirements and programmes through partnership and collaboration across the best of the European aerospace sector is fundamentally what Eurofighter Gmbh is there to do. Typhoon is integrated Raytheon Paveway IV 500lb and Enhanced Paveway EGBU-16 1,000lb guided bombs and a new laser designator pod.Within Europe, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, and the United Kingdom have all purchased the Typhoon. Eurofighter Gmbh is similarly focused on bringing a corresponding upgrade programme with the United Kingdom and Italy into reality, and their significant ongoing investment into the ECRS development programme underpins this intent.We are focused on ensuring a successful Entry-into-Service programme with the Kuwait customer next year, and the development and production programmes remain on track.The production lines are fully mobilised, with deliveries of radar systems into aircraft final assembly well underway. We are on track to hit all the key milestones for 2020.The E-Scan Radar opens the door for Eurofighter Typhoon into the Future Operating Environment. The high reliability and subsequent availability ensure low operational costs and high safety. The MSCAN radar, which is on the fleet today, will also be sustained and there will be a series of capability upgrades in the forward plan to ensure operational capabilities are maintained.
High workload situations were analysed to establish information priorities and automate tasks.Other features such as Direct Voice Input and Hands On Throttle And Stick control functions have been implemented on the Eurofighter Typhoon to drastically reduce the pilot’s workload. More detection range and smart incorporation with all sensors will help to reduce the pilot workload whilst enhancing Situational Awareness.Multiple beams allow for extremely precise target tracking, giving the pilot maximum authority over engagement ranges and tactical decisions. The Typhoon has struggled a bit to find customers outside of Europe. The Eurofighter Typhoon has 13 hard points for weapon carriage, four under each wing and five under the fuselage. The ECRS and future development programmes build on the product of the Radar 1+ contract. Eurofighter Typhoon is equipped with 2 EUROJET EJ200 engines to increase safety in peacetime and redundancy in war. Operational Typhoons started entering service in 2003. This is in addition to our established production customer requirements in support of new-build aircraft deliveries into Kuwait and Qatar. It offers the Eurofighter pilot a significant tactical advantage and, when allied with the platform’s inherent power and agility, means Typhoon will be a potent performer for the future. David’s role also encompasses bid and campaign activity for future programmes, which also covers the Eurofighter Common Radar System (ECRS) programme. The hardware standard resulting from Radar 1+ is designated as ECRS Mk0 and development is complete. That’s because the radar is the main sensor of the aircraft, and improvements and insertions of new capabilities act as multiplier for the whole Mission Effectiveness of the weapon system.

The integration of E-Scan radar has already triggered a range of enhancements across a number of other aircraft systems, particularly the avionics, power and cooling systems.To fully exploit certain E-Scan capabilities, there are also a number of elements of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) programme that will be enabled and supported as a result of E-Scan integration.
