Seriously though. The Typhoon may be able to out-range the competition with Meteor, but I doubt that its detection capability is sufficient to make this happen. I've yet to see any progress on the AESA radar, which *should* be a massive priority for the program.
Ah yes ENIAC, the worlds SECOND oldest computer:)
Progress in making the thing yes, firm orders not yet, ....
Meanwhile, work on the Euroradar Captor-E AESA for the Eurofighter Typhoon is also proceeding, with EADS company Cassidian acting as design authority for the new array.
"We are cracking on, with hardware coming together," Mason says. The first test radar should be delivered early in the second quarter of 2013, and flown by Eurofighter partner company BAE Systems on a Typhoon before the end of that year.
The design retains an upgraded processor and receiver from the mechanically-scanned Captor-M, but adds a new array and an electrically-steered repositioner which will increase the sensor's field of regard by +/-100?.
"The gain in performance is well worth any minor degradation in mean-time between failure," Mason says. The AESA will deliver enhanced detection performance in air-to-air and air-to-ground modes, plus a synthetic aperture radar mapping function.
The AESA for Gripen is built, tested and ready to go but that decision is less racked with pain than the multi nation slog with the Typhoon.
