BAE Systems has begun flight trials of the Phase 2 Enhancement (P2E) software package for the Eurofighter Typhoon. On August 4, single-seat development Typhoon ZJ938/IPA6 made its first post-modification test flight on from Warton, Lancashire. The P2E package is intended to improve swing-role capability. Enhancements include integration of the MBDA Meteor beyond visual range air-to-air missile and MBDA Storm Shadow conventionally-armed stand-off missile. Other elements are better interoperability for the multi-function information display systems and improvements to the defensive aids sub-system and laser designator pod.
