Cobham Wins German Air Force Deal
Cobham Mission Systems, a supplier of military aircraft countermeasure components, recently announced that it has won subcontracts to provide chaff and flare dispenser equipment for the German Air Force’s Quadriga Tranche 4 Eurofighter Typhoon fleet. Chaff and flares are fundamental components of an effective, integrated self-defence suite, helping pilots to fulfil their missions and return safely to base.
The company’s Chaff and Flare Defensive Aid Systems include flare dispensers for off-board infrared-seeking missile countermeasures and chaff dispensers that deploy particles to neutralise threats from radar guided missiles.
“These new orders will allow Cobham Mission Systems’ to support the build of 38 Tranche 4 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft,” said Duncan Thorndike, vice president of Weapons Carriage and Release for Cobham Mission Systems. “Cobham Mission Systems has supported the Typhoon programme from the start and has provided essential equipment for more than 550 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft currently in service. We are proud to continue to deliver chaff and flare systems for one of the most successful combat military aircraft serving European and international allied nations.”
Cobham Mission Systems has more than 50 years of experience designing and developing military aircraft countermeasure equipment and is known as the design authority for the Eurofighter Typhoon’s defensive chaff and flare systems.
