Written Question
Monday 11th June 2018
Asked by:
Douglas Ross (Conservative - Moray)
Question
to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 29 May 2018 to Question 146325 on European Fighter Aircraft: Safety Measures, how the Typhoon’s Enhanced Collision Awareness System will meet the requirement for an independent Airborne Collision Avoidance System.
Answered by Guto Bebb
The Ministry of Defence requirement is to reduce the risk of mid-air collision. The Enhanced Collision Awareness System will meet this by enhancing the pilot's situational awareness of collision threats when in congested airspace, enabling appropriate action to be taken and providing additional protection for Typhoon pilots.

Question
to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 29 May 2018 to Question 146960 on European Fighter Aircraft, what proportion of the £45 million has been assigned to the installation of the the Enhanced Collision Awareness System.
Answered by Guto Bebb
The installation of stage one of the Enhanced Collision Awareness System (ECAS) onto Typhoon is part of a package of capability enhancements. As further enhancements will be contracted for in due course, I am withholding the current cost of the ECAS installation as disclosure would prejudice commercial interests in future competitions for similar work.

Douglas Ross (Conservative - Moray)
Question
to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how Enhance Collision Avoidance System fitted in Typhoon aircraft interacts with Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System II equipped in civil aircraft in a potential collision environment.
Answered by Guto Bebb
Existing transponders fitted to Typhoon aircraft already have the capability to generate a traffic alert in any Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)-equipped civil or military aircraft.
It will reduce the risk of mid-air collision and enhance the situational awareness of Typhoon aircrew when in congested airspace, providing additional protection for our RAF Typhoon pilots.
Stage one of the Typhoon Enhanced Collision Awareness System will not interact with the civil TCAS.
