EuroDASS Consortium Signs Contract to Equip New German Typhoons

摘要

Leonardo, on behalf of the EuroDASS Consortium, has signed a contract to supply the Praetorian defensive aids sub-system (DASS) for the new Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft being supplied under the German Quadriga programme. This will see 38 of the latest standard Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft delivered to the German Luftwaffe to replace their Tranche 1 Typhoon aircraft. The Typhoon's Praetorian DASS equips the aircraft with advanced protection from threats including infra-red (IR or heat-seeking) and radar-guided missiles. The system is well-regarded by users and has been battle-tested on peacekeeping operations in Libya and Syria. It integrates sensors and electronic warfare jamming to provide exceptional situational awareness, platform protection and advanced electronic deception techniques.
