Tuleekohan sama Arexis ruotsalaisten Gripen E:hen? HX:n yhteysessä sitä ainakin kovasti mainostettiin. Aika kovahan se olisi, jos Gripen E:ssä olisi vastaavaa kykyä kuin EF EK:ssa.
Eikös tuo Arexis ole alumperin Gripen E/F:lle kehitetty?

On ja sitä on myyty modulaarisena (vaatimattomampana pääosin) jo pidemmän aikaa muihin koneisiin. Yllättäen päätyikin toiseen hävittäjään eikä ilmavoimien bisnesjetin ew:ksi näin alussa.
 
Onhan sitä siihen mainostettu, mutta onko löytynyt maksavia asiakkaita?
Tuossa linkkaamassani jutussa luki "The EW suite is fully integrated on all Gripen aircraft".
Sen perusteella voisi luulla että tuo on ainakin näissä E/F-koneissa aina mukana. Samaan tapaan kuin F-35:n vastaavat systeemit

En tiedä asiasta enempää kuin mitä näissä julkisissa tiedoissa lukee. Mutta kai SAAB:illa on ollut jotain konkreettista näytettävää jotta Eurofighteriin päättivät tilata samankaltaisen.
 
Ach, Arexis onkin näköjään (nykyään?) yleisnimi Saabin EW-järjestelmille. Itsellä oli mielikuvana, että Arexis on säiliöön asennettu häirintälähetin, "mini-Growler", mutta se onkin vain eräs järjestelmän optio.
 
RAF Typhoon D-Day muistojuhlallisuuksia varten maalattuna.
Onpa hieno! Vaan kylläpä maalaus vaikuttaa, tulee niin vahvat retro-vibat, että Typhoon näyttää 50 vuotta vanhalta.

Hornetiin Ostfront-maalaus ja sitten tunnistuslennolle Suomenlahdelle.
 
German police are investigating a collision between a consumer drone and a German Air Force Eurofighter combat aircraft. According to police in the city of Ingolstadt, the town nearest to the Manching AB where the incident occurred, a Eurofighter pilot noted damage to the aircraft after returning...

Suomeenkin tarjotun ECRS Mk2 lentotestit alkaa.
The long-awaited decision follows a ground test programme that has been completed on a Eurofighter Typhoon test and evaluation aircraft. The work undertaken by engineers at BAE Systems’ flight test facility in Warton, Lancashire, supported by teams from Leonardo UK who developed the radar at its Edinburgh and Luton sites, included electromagnetic testing in a unique anechoic chamber to ensure the radar works with the aircraft’s systems.
The ECRS Mk 2 programme has achieved several positive milestones in the last four months, including successfully completing the critical design review (CDR) of the production radar system in June 2024.While no specific date was provided, the statement from the official represents a major step forward for the UK's Eurofighter modernisation programme, which includes the installation of the ECRS Mk 2 on forty Tranche 3 aircraft.
This consolidates the RAF's fleet around this version (along with the Tranche 2s), while the older aircraft (Tranche 1s) will be phased out from 2025.
Called European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk2 and developed by Leonardo, it is an AESA sensor that combines new features for detecting, tracking and monitoring air targets, in addition to integrating enhanced electronic warfare and communications capabilities. The latter is a requirement of the European fighter operators to be included in the new updates of the combat aircraft, either through the incorporation of a new radar, as in the British case, or through new specific pods for this function.
Eli Tranche 3:een vaaditaan joko uusi tutka kuten juuri ECRS, tai erilliset lisäpodit.
The European Common Radar System, or ECRS, is the electronically scanned array variant of the radar that is in service on Typhoon aircraft operated by Kuwait and Qatar. The variant in service is known as ECRS Mk0 and provides pilots with enhanced situational awareness, offering a 50% greater field of view than traditional fixed-plate radars.
The ECRS Mk2 will provide an innovative and advanced EW capability, in addition to traditional radar functions, including wideband electronic attack. It will enable RAF pilots to locate, identify and neutralise enemy air defences using high-power jamming.
One feature is that it not only detects and prioritizes threats, it tells the pilot what to do and offers maneuver recommendations while automatically deploying optimized countermeasures. Decoys such as chaff, flares and the Brite Cloud disposable active decoy are automatically coordinated with electronic countermeasures to give the pilot the response that gives them the best chance of survival.
