UK to drive down Typhoon operating costs to match F-16
Citat:Dubbed the Typhoon total availability enterprise, or Tytan, the new, 10-year arrangement between the RAF and industry partners BAE Systems and Leonardo is expected to reduce the Typhoon's per-hour operating cost by 30-40%. This should equate to a saving of at least £550 million ($712 million), which "will be recycled into the programme", according to BAE Systems Military Air & Information managing director Chris Boardman.
Introduced one year ago at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire and RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland, the Tytan framework is already delivering savings, and attracting "phenomenal" interest from other programmes, including Lockheed Martin's F-35, Boardman says. His goal is for the initiative to eventually result in the Typhoon having a per-hour operating cost "equivalent to a [Lockheed] F-16".
"You can't reduce cost by just using the same system," Boardman says. "We need to get more for less if we're going to push forward."
UK-specific initiatives already introduced via the Tytan contract include increasing the intervals between scheduled major maintenance activities, which will increase aircraft availability and reduce repair bills. Deep maintenance initially scheduled after every 400 flight hours has previously been extended to a 500h interval, and is expected to be stretched further to 750h.

Pitanje dali su motori toliko bolji da si mogu priuštiti dulje intervale servisa. Posle jednog, dva udesa vratit će se oni na kraće intervale.

Vec bar dve godine je prvi pregled na 500 ne na 400 sati. Sad cujemo dizu na 750. verovatno su prvo krenuli konzervaivnije. sada vec koriste avion 12-13 godina i skoro 400 000 sati.
Bilo je prvobitno inspekcija na 400
Citat:
The first set of maintenance work known as a ‘primary maintenance’ is undertaken once the aircraft has flown 400 hours, followed by a ‘minor maintenance’ which is carried out at 800 flying hours. ‘Once the aircraft reaches the 1600 flying hour threshold the ‘Major’ maintenance is then carried out.
Motori imaju i EMU-engine monitoring unit koji radi dijagnostiku svih delova motora, podatci se skidaju bukvalno tabletom i on daje podatke koliko je neki deo "presao" i koliko mu je ostalo.

RAF Pilots Testing Latest Eurofighter Upgrade Package
Citat:A new package of advanced weapons, software and avionics enhancements for the Eurofighter Typhoon combat jet is being trialled by Royal Air Force Test and Evaluation pilots at RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire, ahead of roll-out across the UK fleet.
The work forms a major part of Project Centurion - the programme to ensure seamless transition of capability from the Tornado GR4 to Typhoon.

BAE details slowing Typhoon production rate
Citat:BAE Systems delivered 10 Eurofighter Typhoons in the first half of this year, as the UK company and its European partners wait for further international sales to safeguard long-term production of the type.

Citat:An RAF Spokesman says Typhoon has proved itself at the heart of the international coalition fighting against DAESH.
The aircraft has now flown in excess of 900 missions over Iraq and Syria since December 2015, providing daily support to international coalition forces in the fight against DAESH on Operation SHADER.
Each mission consists of a pair of Typhoons and all told the operational activity equates to over 10,000 flying hours, during which the aircraft has delivered more than 850 Paveway IV weapons.
The RAF Spokesman says:
In terms of its contribution to the fight against DAESH we have seen a demonstrable change in the size of the so-called caliphate in Iraq and Syria. We recently saw the Prime Minister of Iraq in Mosul city – the second largest city – which has just been liberated with support from coalition air power. Typhoon has been a key component of that support to the freedom of Mosul.
Importantly, we have 100% mission support rate throughout this time which is testament to the reliability and utility of the aircraft.
He said that the flexibility of Typhoon with Paveway IV, when combined with the weapon effects, has led to an increased demand from across the Operation SHADER Area of Operations with Coalition Joint Terminal Attack Controllers specifically asking for Typhoon support.
As a multi-role aircraft, Typhoon offers Air to Air operations with precision strike Air to Surface operations using Paveway IV laser-guided weapon and 27mm cannon. The Litening III Advanced Targeting Pod generates a fidelity of coordinates that permits immediate self-strike capability, significantly reducing the time to prosecute time-sensitive targets.
The RAF Spokesman:
Typhoon is very active in Syria, in particular in the ISIS heartland of Raqqa, where its use of the Paveway IV GPS precision-guided munition together with its advanced sensors have enabled Typhoon to be considered almost the platform of choice for operations against the targets around Raqqa.
“There are a number of anecdotal stories from the pilots that back that up. When they have been held in a tanker track or a stack — where there are a different series of aircraft able to provide close air support to the troops on the ground — there’s anecdotal evidence that Coalition special forces on the ground, from the US and indigenous Iraqi forces have been specifically asking for Typhoon as a capability.
“One of the fundamental reasons why is because of the weapons load Typhoon is able to carry. It can fly with four Paveway IVs without any detrimental impact on its Air to Air capability, when other aircraft in the Coalition forces usually carry just two. Therefore it’s able to strike, if required, four targets simultaneously. That really provides greater flexibility and opportunity for the controller on the ground.”
The RAF Spokesman added that Typhoon’s reliability was another important strength.
The evidence speaks for itself. Not one mission missed for technical reasons — of course we have had weather cancellations or cancellations for geo-strategic — but never for technical unserviceability. Every time we plan for our missions we are always absolutely aware that we can’t afford to fail and we haven’t done so yet.
“This would not be possible without the team of engineers and support personnel who maintain the aircraft.
Over the last 20 months all five RAF frontline squadrons have worked in support of the missions and the RAF Spokesman said that Typhoon Force’s success in the international fight against DAESH is thanks to it fully using all its strengths — people and aircraft.
“Our success in Operation SHADER is down to a mixture of everything. I could talk about the quality of the pilots, the quality of the engineers, because we are getting the aircraft airborne and the pilots are delivering on what’s being tasked of them. That sets a good reputational picture for Typhoon.
“But I could also talk about the weapons it carries, the aircraft’s dynamic sensor suite and how all that blends into producing an efficient decision cycle around identifying a target and having approval within the rules of engagement to strike the target. All of that comes together because the Typhoon Force is not just the platform itself.
“It’s worth noting that within 24 hours of the decision to deploy Typhoon, aircraft were striking targets in Syria.”
A recent 1(F) Squadron post-Operational report states that Typhoon has employed Paveway IV effectively in all of its modes, including GPS, Laser, Desired impact angle or azimuth.
