SWING-ROLE 06

Modern air forces undertake a widevariety of roles and place extremelyhigh demands on available combataircraft. Missions and roles include:air defence; air superiority; offensivecounter-air; air interdiction;Offensive Air Support (OAS);anti-ship strike; reconnaissance;and Suppression/Destruction ofEnemy Air Defences (SEAD/DEAD).

Eurofighter Typhoon can undertakeall of these tasks.This flexibility isbased on advanced avionics, sensorand weapons integration techniquesthat are unique to this aircraft.

One aircraft for all missions,reducing cost, increasingeffectiveness and enhancinginteroperability with allied air forces.

Eurofighter Typhoon provides a step change in operational flexibility.With its 13 external store stations,multi-mode pulse Doppler radar,data transfer links and role-commonsoftware package, the EurofighterTyphoon pilot can change operationaltasks in-flight or undertake differentroles on the same sortie.

This unique operational capabilityprovides air commanders withminute-to-minute control over airasset and tasking needs.

Peacekeeping

SWING-ROLE

Eurofighter Typhoon stands head and shoulders above the competitionwith its swing-role capability.The ability to change operational roles in-flight is achieved through an integrated design process that reflects theexacting demands of four leading air forces.

SWING-ROLE 07

Long range/long endurance

Air-to-Air dominance

Close Air Support

Eurofighter Typhoon's ability tocounter all known and projectedthreats, and to deliver a wide range of weapons against a variety of targets, set it ahead of all opposition.

The aircraft’s optimum performancein both subsonic and supersonicregimes, linked with a flexibleadvanced weapons payload,deliver a war winning solution to air commanders.

The huge thrust delivered byEurofighter Typhoon's twin, purpose-designed, EJ200 engines combinedwith a clean aerodynamic designallow the aircraft to achieve andmaintain supercruise speeds – savingfuel, decreasing the Infra-Redsignature and maximising range.

Increased fuel savings also have a direct impact on endurance,providing Eurofighter Typhoon withimproved combat persistence inloiter or patrol missions.

In a possible mission, EurofighterTyphoon would typically carry six Air-to-Air missiles along with drop tanks and precisionguided munitions.

The swing-role capability is madepossible by a world-class man-machine interface that gives thepilot complete control of thetactical and operational scenario,while at the same time reducingworkload.

A common mission software systemoptimises the deployment of eachweapon as required.

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.

CONTROL 11

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.

COST14

A clear lead

Eurofighter Typhoon’s long-termcost of ownership is tackled in thedesign phase where the performanceof the aircraft is matched tostringent Reliability, Maintainabilityand Testability (RMT) standards,clearly programmed-in at the earlydesign requirements phase.

Rugged and reliable, and easy tomaintain and test, the aircraft isdesigned to require minimal groundsupport and maintenance byproviding ground crew withIntegrated Monitoring andRecording Systems (IMRS) and a Utility Control System (UCS)to monitor, test and troubleshootfaults easily, rapidly and efficiently.

As a result, downtime is reduced to a minimum, and availability isenhanced, reducing operating costs.

In the manufacturing phase, the useof state-of-the-art design processesand Just-In-Time manufacturingkeeps costs to the minimum.

The digital manufacturing processprovides a high level of accuracy sothat parts finished to fine tolerancesare quickly interchangeablethroughout the customer'sEurofighter Typhoon fleet.

This lean manufacturing process is one of the most advancedaerospace processes employedanywhere in the world.

COST

The price-performance ratio for Eurofighter Typhoon clearly shows the outstanding benefits of operating this aircraft. With its swing-rolecapability the Eurofighter Typhoon can undertake a range of missionsefficiently, with higher survivability, easy maintenance, reliability andoperational availability.

The single-seat design, low attrition rates, integrated Defensive Aids Sub-System (DASS) with fully automated deployment of countermeasures, all protect and preserve the availability of aircraft and skilled pilots.
