The integration of Paveway IV will enhance Typhoon’s capabilities in its ground attack role and forms part of the Typhoon Future Capability Upgrade.
The test is part of an ongoing programme to integrate Paveway IV onto the aircraft and builds on the already performed environmental and jettison trials.
Paveway IV is planned to be delivered to the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) in 2012, when the Royal Air Force (RAF) will start operational evaluation.
