The combat aircraft Eurofighter Typhoon is considered the backbone of many air forces in Europe and the Middle East. In order to provide longevity and to ensure that the Typhoon aircraft will continue to be a force multiplier, the fighter is receiving capability upgrades, including the introduction of a new radar system.
The responsible consortium involves HENSOLDT (Germany) and Indra (Spain), developing the so-called Eurofighter Common Radar System (ECRS) MK 1. The radar builds on components of the CAPTOR-E radar system, but is different in core elements and operational capabilities.
