IFS signs support contract with Eurofighter

The Eurofighter consortium has signed a five-year contract with IFS to maintain its IFS Applications-based system, which is handling the Industrial Repair Service (IRS) for the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft.

Valued in excess of £2 million, the contract will continue to support Typhoon deployments through the next five years and enable through-life management and support initiatives.

IRS, which is a key component of the aircraft's repair and overhaul solution, has included modifications and enhancements to align the system to changing commercial and operational environments. The Eurofighter consortium targets further improvements to handle Radar and DASS items which are now managed under this service.

“The IFS Applications-based IRS system has reached another significant milestone with the signature of this five-year support contract (Phase 3), confirming Eurofighter's commitment to IFS Defence as supplier of a key operation system for Typhoon aircraft in service with the British, German, Italian and Spanish Air Forces and other potential export customers,” stated Iain Green, managing director of IFS Defence. “We will continue to invest in our software solution to maintain our position as the leading supplier of project based ERP, EAM and MRO solutions to the aerospace & defence market.”
