DEFENSIVE AIDS SUB SYSTEM (DASS)

摘要

Eurofighter's defensive aids sub-system (DASS) was created specifically for the Typhoon. DASS is an integrated internal electronic warfare suite which provides comprehensive protection against infrared missile and threat radars using a set of self-defence sensors and countermeasures systems positioned at different locations around the aircraft (see below). DASS is integrated with all of the other avionics subsystems and the cockpit display which has a dedicated format giving a plan view of the battle space showing the pilot any threats around the aircraft. The system is data driven and automated. It reduces the pilot's work load by displaying what threats are in the battle space, how much of a risk each one poses to his or her aircraft and provides automated cues for countermeasures.
