This question was answered on 25th January 2022
The total financial approval for the AESA radar is £818.9 million and this is intended to deliver a prototype European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk2 radar ready for flight trials and critical design review for the ECRS Mk2 production radar.
The strategic intent to continue ECRS Mk2 development and integrate the radar onto Typhoon was confirmed in the Defence Command Paper. However, the investment required to do so is subject to final approval.
