Selex ES completes deliveries of Tranche 2 Typhoon EW systems

Selex ES, a Finmeccanica company, has completed deliveries of the Praetorian electronic warfare self protection system for Tranche 2 Eurofighter Typhoons.

All 236 Tranche 2 Typhoons operated by the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain will be equipped with electronic support measures, electronic countermeasures and missile approach warning elements. Together, these combine to inform the pilot on potential hazards and automatically take measures to protect the fighter.
