Seamless integration of sensors and weapons
To allow the pilot to make the most of the aircraft's exceptionalpower, breathtaking agility andacceleration, Eurofighter's four-nationdesign team has worked withcustomer Air Forces to develop a unique cockpit environment.
The key to this design strategy is the full integration of all sensorsystems, from the advanced ECR90radar and FLIR system through to the pilot's own eyesight and theHelmet-Mounted Symbology System(HMSS).
The integration of these systemsallow the pilot to extract maximumadvantage from the aircraft andprovide a battle-winning edge overan adversary.
Eurofighter Typhoon has beendesigned to provide its pilots with a weapons platform featuringexceptional situation awareness.
This has been achieved throughimaginative and innovative use ofcontrol, sensor and communicationstechnologies.The pilot can thinktactics and rely on the aircraft to deliver performance.

Cockpit automation and integrationsees the pilot's workload cut to theminimum.The ejection seat angleand world-class Aircrew EquipmentAssembly (AEA) enable the pilot to pull and maintain high ‘g’.This lets the pilot fight the air battle without the stress ofpersonal discomfort or worry of cockpit management tasks,especially during the crucial seconds of an Air-to-Air or Air-to-Surface engagement.
The aircraft's carefree handlingcapability means that whatever the weight and stores configuration,the Flight Control System (FCS)will deliver optimum performanceacross the flight envelope.Throughthe Voice Throttle And Stick(VTAS) controls, the pilot canconcentrate on the task at hand – engaging the enemy.
Split-second awareness and aircraftmanagement can be maintainedthrough the aircraft's unique DirectVoice Input (DVI), which allow the pilot to control all the aircraft’snon-safety-critical functions byvoice command. EurofighterTyphoon is the first aircraft to haveDVI planned from its initial designphase, another technological leadfor this world-beating aircraft.
The maxim in modern air combat is 'See First, Kill First'.A comprehensive sensor fusionprocess merges input from theaircraft's multi-mode ECR90 radar, Infra-Red Search andTrack/Forward Looking Infra Red(IRST/FLIR), Multiple InformationDistribution System (MIDS),Defensive Aids Sub-System (DASS) and the latest generation of Identification Friend or Foe(IFF) systems.This results inuncluttered information display and reduced workload.
Fused data is presented to the pilot as a clear image, either on the aircraft's wide-angle Head UpDisplay (HUD), three large-screenfull-colour Multi-function Head-Down Displays (MHDDs) or throughthe Helmet Mounted SymbologySystem (HMSS).
All of this allows the pilot to think and fight tactics in the face of the enemy threat in a lower-stress environment.
