Danish company Flatirons Solutions has teamed with Airbus Defense and Space in a bid to supply the Danish Air Force with Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft.

Under the agreement signed Thursday, Flatirons will provide its CORENA Suite software for production and ongoing management of Danish Eurofighter Typhoon maintenance publications, including airframe and engine manuals.

The CORENA Suite-powered Flatirons Multi-Spec Solution software included provides full content lifecycle management for mobile maintenance and technical operations.

The teaming agreement for the Danish Fighter Replacement Program builds on a long-term partnership between Flatirons and Airbus Group, including collaboration in support of Airbus's NH90 and Tiger programs, Flatirons said.

The Typhoon is produced by a consortium comprised of Airbus, Alenia Aermacchi, and BAE Systems. It is a twin-engine multi-role fighter with a maximum speed at altitude of 1,550 miles per hour and a combat radius of 100 t0 350 nautical miles depending on mission.

If procured by Denmark, the Typhoon would replace aging F-16 aircraft, which are to be phased out of service.

"Flatirons has enjoyed a productive relationship with Airbus Group through our work on defense helicopter programs, and we are gratified to extend our partnership in support of the Eurofighter Typhoon entry for the Danish Fighter Replacement Program," said Flatiron Chief Executive Officer Geoffrey Godet.

Boeing awarded $308 million for Dutch Chinooks
Washington (UPI) Apr 15, 2016 - Boeing has been awarded an additional $308 million contract to build 12 CH-47F Chinook helicopters for the Dutch military.

Funding for the new helicopters comes as a modification to an existing foreign military sales contract with the Netherlands, according to a Defense Department announcement.

Work will be done at Boeing's facility in Ridley Township, Penn. Deliveries are expected to be completed this month, according to the announcement. Officials at the U.S. Army's Contracting Command will oversee the program.

The contract modification comes days after Airbus DS Electronics and Border Security reached a pact to supply the Dutch military with missile launch detection systems to protect F-16 fighters and NH-90 helicopters.

The MILDS F to be delivered operates in the solar-blind UV spectrum and is not subject to the limitations of other warning technologies. It features high resolution sensors combined with rapid processing for rapid threat identification, plus the ability to detect small arms fire.

The system is outfitted on F-16 fighters of the Royal Norwegian Air Force and the Royal Danish Air Force.
