Eurofighter Typhoon jet to get new Captor E-Scan radar
Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain (through partner companies BAE Systems, Airbus and Finmeccanica) have signed a 1 billion euro ($1.3 billion) contract to provide their jointly backed Typhoon jet with a new sort of radar.As part of the new contract the Typhoon jet will in future be available with the "Captor E-Scan radar" which will give increased detection and tracking ranges, advanced air-to-surface capability and enhanced electronic protection measures
Eurofighter lost out on a $20 billion deal to sell 126 jets to India in 2012. While Saudi Arabia and Oman have ordered Typhoons, Eurofighter suffered a major blow last year when United Arab Emirates quit talks over a possible 6 billion pound order.BAE said trials of the jet with the new radar had already started.

System integration phase for new Typhoon fighter aircraft radar
New active electronic scanned array radar for Eurofighter Typhoon fighter aircraft is entering the system integration phase of development, Cassidian reports.
The move follows integration testing of the Captor-E's antenna sub-system and a review of the results by representatives of the four countries involved in the Eurofighter Typhoon program -- Britain, Italy, Spain and Germany.
"The test results achieved during the campaign were fully in line with the theoretical design and comply with the internationally agreed system specification by the four nations," Cassidian said. "The achieved results demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance and the high production standard of the Captor-E AESA antenna, the repositioner and the corresponding antenna power supply and control unit."
With the Captor-E radar system, the radar beam comes from several thousands, small transmit and receive modules instead of a central emitter, enhancing versatility while helping conceal the originating location of the beam.
The new radar system for the Typhoon is being built by a consortium composed of Cassidian, Selex ES, and Indra.
Cassidian said the Captor-E's antenna sub-system will go to a Selex facility in Scotland for integration and tests with the receiver and processor. Final integration of the radar into production aircraft is expected to start next spring.
