Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
£200M contract for Eurofighter Tranche 3A radar awarded to SELEX Galileo
SELEX Galileo, a Finmeccanica Company, has been awarded a contract worth more than £200M (approximately Euro 242 million) to supply an additional 88 Captor radar systems for the Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 3A programme.
The Captor Mechanically Scanned (M-Scan) radar is currently the primary sensor on the Eurofighter Typhoon and is considered best-in-class.
Deliveries are due to commence in 2012 with manufacturing taking place in Italy, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom.
"We are delighted to continue providing the Captor radar, having driven the programme from the very start" said SELEX Galileo CEO Steve Mogford, adding: "As a key partner of the Eurofighter programme we are strongly committed to delivering the best technology on the market, ensuring that the aircraft continues to meet the most stringent operational requirements".
SELEX Galileo produces the radar alongside Euroradar consortium partners EADS Defence Electronics and Indra, with over 400 Captor M-Scan radars for the Typhoon programme delivered to date.
The contract follows on from the recently announced AESA radar development programme, and will provide continuity of production to the Euroradar consortium.
