BAE secures new Typhoon contract

BAE Systems has secured a £165m contract to deliver further enhancements to the Eurofighter Typhoon, which was signed at IDEX 2015 in Abu Dhabi.

The contract represents an order value of £72mn to BAE Systems for the integration of the MBDA Brimstone 2 weapon. This announcement follows a successful feasibility study and a trial installation commissioned by the UK Ministry of Defence and carried out by BAE Systems in 2014.

Martin Taylor, combat air managing director for BAE Systems, said: “By any measure, the number of capability enhancements put in place for Typhoon in the past 12 months has been phenomenal, with Meteor, Storm Shadow, Captor E-scan radar and now Brimstone. P3E represents another exciting chapter in the development journey for Typhoon.”
