Spanish Air Force Takes Delivery of First
Upgraded Tranche 1 Eurofighter
|
Airbus has delivered the first upgraded Tranche
1 Eurofighter to the Spanish Air Force.
The upgrade was carried
out at Airbus facilities in Getafe and involved the introduction
of hardware modifications which support the Operational Flight
Program 02 (OFP-02) developed by the Armament and Experimental
Logistics Centre (CLAEX).
The upgrade developed by Airbus includes
modifications that integrate Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 equipment on
the aircraft, not least a Computer Symbol Generator, Digital Video
and Voice Recorder, Laser Designator POD and Maintenance Data
Panel.
This first single-seat Eurofighter (serial number
SS003), to be followed by a second two-seat aircraft currently
undergoing the upgrade, will be used initially by CLAEX as a test
aircraft for the qualification of these new capabilities that will
be implemented on the Air Force’s fleet of 15 Tranche 1
Eurofighters.
