"The outstanding capability of the display system we have selected from Esterline was a key discriminator in awarding this contract and is vital in ensuring we deliver our training and support requirements to the Royal Air Force," Anthony Gregory, campaign delivery director at BAE Systems, said in a press release.

The Eurofighter Typhoon is an advanced, multi-role combat jet BAE is supporting for the British government, which is offering it to Belgium as part of the Air Combat Capability program.
