Selex ES, which leads the EuroDASS consortium to deliver Praetorian, is currently also under contract to deliver the systems for Tranche 3A Typhoons, with the first batch of systems already installed. The company is also contracted to provide the Praetorian system for an Arabian Typhoon customer. At a company level, Selex ES contributes more than 60 percent of the avionics for the Typhoon including leading the consortia that provide the IRST and radar.
“As Europe’s leader in electronic warfare, we’re proud to play such a prominent role in the protection of the Eurofighter Typhoon,” said Pete Forrest, VP Marketing and Sales for Electronic Warfare at Selex ES, adding: “As a company we continue to invest 15% of revenues in research and development which has lead to us bringing to market highly advanced EW products like our SAGE electronic support measure system.”
