The Eurofighter development aircraft (DA) fleet has completed a series of firing trials of MBDA's ASRAAM and Raytheon's AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles. Alenia Aeronautica of Italy's DA7 aircraft completed a 10-day series of tests at the Decimomannu air weapons range in Sardinia in early December. Germany, Italy and Spain will eventually field BGT's IRIS-T short-range air-to-air missile with their Eurofighter fleets, while the UK Royal Air Force's Typhoons will deploy the in-service ASRAAM.
