The UK Royal Air Force (RAF) expects to field the BAE Systems Striker II helmet-mounted display (HMD) aboard its Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft before the end of the decade.
Speaking at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2023 air show held at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, Group Captain Matthew D’Aubyn, Air Capability Typhoon programme director, said the RAF and BAE Systems “are working hard” for an entry into service of the Striker II in 2027–28.
“For Striker II we are expecting to enter service in 2027–28. That’s why we are working really hard with our BAE Systems colleagues to get that final business case presented this year and to ensure continuity from that [development] phase one period into the [fielding] phase two,” Gp Capt D’Aubyn said on 14 July.
