(asked on 7th September 2020) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many Advanced Electronically Scanned Array Radar units will be provided for use by the Royal Air Force's Eurofighter Typhoons as a result of the contract with Leonardo and BAE systems.
This question was answered on 15th September 2020
The contract with Leonardo and BAE Systems is the latest critical step in the development of a European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk2 for the RAF's Typhoon fleet.
The intent is to install ECRS Mk2 on all 40 of the RAF's Tranche 3 Typhoon aircraft and a small number of Ministry of Defence and industry test assets.
