More than half of that investment will go to sensor specialist Hensoldt, a former Airbus subsidiary. The contract is aimed at retrofitting roughly 130 German and Spanish aircraft in the mid-2020s, according to Hensoldt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials in Europe have billed the radar upgrade as a key prerequisite for keeping the Eurofighter relevant for future missions and possible sales \u2014 including ongoing acquisition decisions in Finland and Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/people.defensenews.com\/top-100\/\" target=_blank><b>Click here for the Defense News Top 100 list.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indra becoming the co-lead for the Captor-E\u2019s follow-on generation, dubbed Eurofighter Common Radar System Mk1, represents a boost to the company\u2019s prospects when it comes to developing a new generation of air warfare equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe contract will allow Indra to create long-term highly-skilled jobs, in addition to reinforcing its technological expertise and role as a key supplier in the field of airborne sensors, as well as the leader of the Sensors technological pillar within the FCAS program,\u201d the company wrote in a statement, referring to the German-French-Spanish Future Combat Air System program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pairing of Hensoldt and Indra for the fully digitized Mk1 version of the radar represents something of a fork in the road for the aircraft\u2019s radar developments. To date, the \u201cEuroradar\u201d consortium \u2014 made up of Leonardo\u2019s British and Italian arms as well as Hensoldt and Indra \u2014 has overseen technology development for the multinational fighter program through the Captor-E, or Mk0, version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuwait and Qatar also purchased Mk0 upgrades for their respective Eurofighter fleets, though the Mk1 version is slated to go only into Spanish and German planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The British military has said it wants its own sensor for the fleet of Royal Air Force Typhoons, reportedly with more specialized performance in the areas of air-to-ground and electronic warfare, as well as with an eye on connectivity to the American-made F-35 fighter jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italy has yet to declare which way it wants to go, meaning Leonardo stands to lose a lead role in the Mk1 development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ongoing industrial teaming arrangements for the Eurofighter radar, complete with hedging and betting on political developments, can be seen as a precursor for a similar dynamic in Europe\u2019s race for a next-generation air weapon. The United Kingdom is spearheading the development of the Tempest fighter jet as a competition to the mainland\u2019s FCAS proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Airbus, a co-lead in the project with France\u2019s Dassault, the Eurofighter is something of a test bed and bridging technology on the way toward more futuristic weaponry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Officials in Europe have billed the radar upgrade as a key prerequisite for keeping the Eurofighter relevant for future missions and
