The ECRS Mk1 (Eurofighter Common Radar System Mark 1) is a next-generation radar designed for both the German and Spanish Air Forces. Its architecture is built on multi-channel AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) technology and a high-performance processor, offering comprehensive support for the full range of Eurofighter combat missions.
“The new radar provides Eurofighter with unique detection capabilities indispensable for the future air combat environment,” HENSOLDT stated, emphasizing the radar’s importance in future-proofing air defence operations. The system supports advanced air-to-air and high-resolution air-to-ground missions, along with both passive and active electronic warfare capabilities.
With approximately 200 ECRS Mk1 radars set for delivery, the system will become a cornerstone of operational readiness for both nations’ air forces. ECRS Mk1 significantly elevates situational awareness and survivability, positioning the Eurofighter as a key platform in the evolving security landscape.
