HL Deb 24 February 1997 vol 578 c79WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Eurofighter 2000 has been conceptually matched against (a) electronic and information warfare developments; and (b) warfare as it may be conducted by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by the time it is delivered.

Earl Howe

The key parameters of Eurofighter's performance are defined in the European Staff Requirement for Development (ESR-D). The ESR-D takes into account likely developments in the fields of electronic warfare and future air systems in order to ensure that the RAF will have the best possible combat aircraft to meet future needs.
