BAE Systems is testing an update to enable the Eurofighter Typhoon to deploy 14 counter-drone weapons, specifically the APKWS guided rocket. The UK Royal Air Force's Eurofighter Typhoons will be able to operate with two seven-round launchers for the rocket. Other Eurofighter operators are also considering integrating the APKWS rocket into their fleets.
The integration of the APKWS rocket into the Eurofighter Typhoon enhances the aircraft's capability to counter drone threats, increasing its defensive capabilities. This development is significant for the air defense capabilities of Eurofighter operators.
