Eurofighter and NETMA Launch Aerodynamic Modification Kit to Enhance Combat Aircraft
The Eurofighter consortium, in collaboration with the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA), has initiated the development, testing, and certification of an Aerodynamic Modification Kit (AMK) for the Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft. Announced on February 5, the agreement aims to facilitate the faster integration of new weapons and certification of new external loads. This initiative is part of a broader effort by consortium partners from Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK to extend the operational life of the Eurofighter Typhoon into the 2060s. The AMK is designed to enhance the aircraft's maneuverability and expand its capability to carry a wider array of air-to-air and air-to-surface weaponry. Although no partner or export customers have committed to the AMK package yet, the announcement suggests that Germany might consider the upgrade as part of its electronic attack program.
