Written Question
European Fighter Aircraft: Radar
Tuesday 15th September 2020

Asked by: Lord German (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

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.

Answered by Baroness Goldie

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.
