Strategic relationship: candidates ' conduct or the fulfilment of the overall Danish defence and security objectives, including the potential for cooperation with other countries.
r Military Affairs: the candidates ' ability to solve the kampflyopgaver (mission effectiveness), candidates ' survivability, the ability to keep the aircraft operational and technical relevant in life expectancy (future proofing) as well as the risks associated with each candidate, that cannot be quantified economically (candidate risk).
r Financial (f)o: candidates ' estimated lifetime costs, including costs associated with the acquisition, ongoing operation and maintenance as well as quantifiable risks.
r Industrial relations: candidates ' support for major Danish security interACEs through industry collaboration with the Danish defense industry.
In addition to the above, the Danes also looked at "survival" and "mission effectivness" separately, and evaluated the following categories:
Non-Traditional Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (NTISR), Strike, Coordination and Reconnaissance (SCAR), Close Air Support (CAS), Defensive Counter Air (DCA), Air Interdiction (AI), and Suppression / Destruction of Enemy Air Defences (S/DEAD).
Survial Typhoon:
5.0 -- 4.5 -- 3.5 -- 3.0 -- 1.0 -- 2.0
Survival SH:
5.0 -- 4.5 -- 4.5 -- 3.0 -- 1.0 -- 1.0
So quite similar; Typhoon had a higher survival score for S/DEAD and SH a higher survival score for CAS.
Mission effectivness for the same categories:
Typhoon:
2.7 -- 2.3 -- 2.7 -- 3.0 -- 2.0 -- 2.0
SH:
3.3 -- 3.0 -- 3.3 -- 2.0 -- 2.0 -- 2.0
Again very similar, SH scores slightly higher in the NTISR, SCAR, and CAS, Typhoon score higher in the DCA mission.
Each have their weak and strong points; the SH overall seems to have fewer weak points than the Typhoon when it comes to mission effectiveness.
For reference, the mission effectivness scores of the F-35:
4.3 -- 3.3 -- 3.6 -- 3.6 -- 5.0 -- 5.0
The F-35 scores in SCAR and CAS missions are actually only slightly better than the SH! Whereas the F-35 really shines in the AI and SEAD missions.
I wonder why the delta is so small for SCAR and CAS? For the SCAR, perhaps they simulate the F-35 without pods and the SH/Typhoon with pods? But what can explain the relatively low F-35 score for CAS? (compared to what one intuitively might expect from the best multirole fighter on the planet!). Perhaps related to which F-35 block they were looking at? I could not find that info however they say that the assumption was that the missions would be done in 2020.
Of course the Swiss eval was different, nevertheless some of the parameters may be somewhat similar. Here are the Swiss scores (scale 1 to 9, 6 was reference/threshold), Typhoon vs Rafale (2015 configuration):
Air Policing: Rafale 6.98, Typhoon 6.43
Defensive counter air: Rafale 7.28, Typhoon 6.49
OCA/AI/DA: Rafale 7.41, Typhoon 6.54
Recce: Rafale 7.63, Typhoon 5.43
Strike: Rafale 7.63, Typhoon 5.75
