How does a Typhoon pilot make a split-second call in the heat of a fight?
It starts with the sensors 🛩️
In a fast-moving fight, a pilot isn't relying on one sensor. Radar, infra-red, datalinks and defensive aids all feed into a single fused picture that supports split-second decisions.
We go behind the scenes with Leonardo's engineers in Edinburgh and Luton, from the CAPTOR-M radar to the next-generation ECRS Mk2 - plus smart countermeasures like Britecloud, an expendable decoy designed to throw incoming missiles off track.
Every upgrade is proven first - thousands of heating and cooling cycles, a lifetime of vibration, and extreme thermal testing - so radars start "first time, every time - Arctic or desert."
