Onboard Diagnostic Systems

Diagnostic systems are directly integrated into the Eurofighter architecture. All the aircraft's basic systems are continuously and automatically monitored and possible errors are displayed.

The Integrated Monitoring and Recording System (IMRS) proposes an order of priority for errors, remedies and emergency procedures. In addition, fault protocols are generated. This reduces the pilot's workload even further, while at the same time increasing fleet availability. Supplementary to this, a Ground Support System (GSS) has been developed as the interface between the aircraft and the national support systems.
