Además de las 20 unidades para Alemania, también se ha firmado la "Phase 4 Enhancement (P4E) SD (system definition)": https://www.eurofighter.com/news/eurofighter-and-netma-progress-next-capability-enhancement-package-for-typhoon
"The Phase 4 Enhancement (P4E) SD (system definition) package contains a number of new developments, including an automated sensor management capability for all Typhoon radars.
This allows the user to exploit the capabilities of the AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar to complete multiple simultaneous tasks, while reducing the pilot workload required as they manage different sensors.
The package also includes an improved cockpit interface and enhanced Radio Frequency Interoperability (RFIO). This will improve survivability and lethality.
In addition to the automated sensor management capability, P4E will introduce DASS (Defensive Aids Sub-System) upgrades for all customers and includes the German IOC (Initial Operating Capability) additional electronic warfare capability.
Furthermore, the P4E SD will undertake the analysis necessary to extend the service life of the Typhoon, ensuring the aircraft is available for decades to come."

Por cierto, he visto un misil de crucero lanzable para el PULS aleman basado en ese dron , ¿o es al reves ?
Son muy distintos: https://www.edrmagazine.eu/the-joint-fire-support-missile-an-mlrs-launched-cruise-missile-by-mbda
@frapu dijo en Eurofighter EFA EF-2000 Typhoon:
Una pregunta, que es ese pedazo de deposito azul?
El programa STAR ("System and Teaming Advanced Research") consiste en el desarrollo de un demostrador biplaza con la pantalla panorámica, aviónica modular y conectividad mejorada para desarrollar tecnologías MUM-T, tanto para el Eurofighter LTE como para el FCAS. El depósito sería el pod modular con diferentes enlaces de datos y elementos de telemetría: https://defensearchives.de/news/airbus-to-build-eurofighter-star-manned-unmanned-teaming-platform/
@Lazarus dijo en Eurofighter EFA EF-2000 Typhoon:
Los FCAAM (de la derecha) seran de menor tamaño que el IRIS-T ?
Son del mismo tamaño: https://www.edrmagazine.eu/iris-t-fcaam-the-future-sraam-6th-generation-missile-by-diehl-defence
Eso sí, tienen elementos plegables pensados para minimizar su tamaño en bodegas internas. Por aquí lo representan aparentemente bastante bien: https://lovegqsk.live/product_details/24635612.html
@Lazarus dijo en Eurofighter EFA EF-2000 Typhoon:
Y en que se diferencian de los FCAAM que van dentro del HRC ?
Son los mismos, solo que están dispuestos verticalmente en el Eurofighter y horizontalmente en el HRC ("Heavy Remote Carrier"). Lo que sí que es una novedad para mí es la versión acortada.
@Lazarus dijo en Eurofighter EFA EF-2000 Typhoon:
Y el FEANIX... alguien sabe que rayos es ?
Es el LRC ("Light Remote Carrier") de Diehl: https://www.diehl.com/defence/en/press-and-media/news/diehl-defence-presents-new-light-remote-carrier-feanix/
"During this year's ILA Berlin, taking place from June 5 to 9, Diehl Defence presents for the first time a model of the new Light Remote Carrier FEANIX. FEANIX stands for Future Effector - Adaptable, Networked, Intelligent, Xpendable.
The Light Remote Carrier (LRC) is characterized by a weight of <300 kilograms and a length of <4 meters. It is a long-range effector which can be launched from the air, from land as well as from sea. Due to its modularity, the LRC is individually equippable with different payloads, from sensors to lethal and non-lethal effectors, depending on the operational scenario and mission. Thanks to the low signature (low observable), the Light Remote Carrier is difficult to detect by the enemy air defence and it makes a valuable contribution to the networked battle management. Besides the mentioned modularity, FEANIX is also characterized by its networking, swarming, robustness and stand-off capability."

"Description
The US military must preserve its asymmetrical advantage given a contested, degraded, and operationally limited space environment. The capabilities provided by Narrowband (NB) SATCOM are critical to the US military and its allies and they must continue to evolve in order to address expanding needs, benefit from emerging technologies, and to mitigate future threats. For the purposes of this RFI, NB is defined as the frequencies utilized for satellite communications between 244-318 MHz (legacy 5/25 kHz channels) and 280-380 MHz (5 MHz WCDMA channels).
...
Specifically, information is sought on capabilities and technologies that enable satellites to provide continued support of the NB SATCOM services provided to WCDMA-capable user terminals from a proliferated MEO space segment. Continuation of these services to the current set of user terminals creates an opportunity to increase space segment resiliency on the path to a more capable and resilient architecture. Additionally, if there are software or hardware modifications that user terminals may have to consider in order to be supported from MEO, those should be identified in the response.The intent of this overall effort is to explore opportunities for non-traditional and/or traditional space, ground, and terminal vendors to rapidly manufacture, integrate, and make available for launch, transitional NB SATCOM solutions that are interoperable with fielded NB SATCOM terminals, and to better understand the opportunity and pathways to gracefully and efficiently evolve space, ground, and terminal segments to deliver resilient modern NB capabilities.
Of concern, are the ability to begin transitional service delivery in 2031; the efficiency, cost, and timeliness of transitional services; and the extent to which transitional services support a pathway to resilient and modern (5G-like) services of the future. Responses to this request will aid in shaping the NB SATCOM transition from MUOS to a future NB architecture. In answering the specific questions below, responses should include clarity on the Responder’s ability to meet the priorities, potential tradeoffs, limitations, and risks. "

Nuevas operaciones de los Eurofighter británicos en Yemen: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/statement-on-air-strikes-against-houthi-military-targets-in-yemen-30-may-2024
"On Thursday 30 May, UK forces participated in a joint operation with US forces against Houthi military facilities to degrade their ability to persist with their attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, which have thus far killed innocent merchant mariners from Vietnam and the Philippines, damaged several merchant ships, and sunk the bulk carrier Rubymar.
Intelligence had confirmed two locations near Hudaydah as being involved with the Houthi anti-shipping attacks, with a number of buildings identified as housing drone ground control facilities and providing storage for very long range drones, as well as surface to air weapons used to impede coalition operations to safeguard shipping in the region. Furthermore, a set of Houthi facilities at Ghulayfiqah, further south on the Yemeni coast, had also been identified as being involved in the command and control of their anti-shipping campaign.
Royal Air Force Typhoon FGR4s therefore conducted strikes on the target buildings at these three locations, using Paveway IV guided bombs. As ever, the utmost care was taken in planning the strikes to minimise any risk to civilians or non-military infrastructure. Conducting the strikes in the hours of darkness should also have mitigated yet further any such risks. As ever with such missions, RAF Voyager tankers provided essential air refuelling support to the Typhoons."
