EADS Selects Thales to Develop Typhoon Maintenance Recording Techniques
EADS disclosed a 6 million euro contract with Thales of Norway
for the development of advanced maintenance data recording techniques
for the Eurofighter Typhoon. The contract will involve close cooperation
between EADS and Thales to develop the system, and will position
Thales in Norway to receive other production contracts for the
Typhoon programme. It is part of a larger 20 million euro agreement
with the Norwegian government for their participation in weapon
systems development for Typhoon, and will enable Thales to use
the experience gained in state-of-the-art technology in other
areas of product work.
