Eurofighter Typhoon releases first Meteor missile
A Eurofighter combat aircraft has released an MBDA Meteor beyond visual-range air-to-air missile for the first time, with the milestone having been achieved over a UK test range on 4 December.
Performed by a BAE Systems test pilot using the UK's Typhoon Instrumented Production Aircraft 1, the event included ejecting a telemetry-equipped Meteor test round from a rear-fuselage missile station over the Qinetiq firing range in Aberporth, west Wales.
"The missile motor was fired, providing data that will allow the missile launch envelope to be expanded," says Eurofighter. The Meteor is powered by a scramjet rocket developed by MBDA Germany subsidiary Bayern-Chemie.
Being integrated as part of a future enhancements flight test programme for the Eurofighter, Meteor is designed as a European successor to the Raytheon AIM-120 AMRAAM which currently arms the type.
Meteor is scheduled to enter operational use with Swedish air force Saab Gripen fighters in 2015, before also being fielded by the Eurofighters of Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, and France's Dassault Rafales from later this decade.
A series of development and test firings has previously been performed using a Gripen testbed in Sweden and the UK.

Rafale clears Meteor safe separation test
France's CEV flight test centre has completed two successful releases of the MBDA Meteor beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile from a Dassault Rafale, moving the nation a step closer to fielding the weapon.
Conducted from the DGA defence procurement agency's Cazaux base on 4 and 10 October, the separation trials involved twin-seat Rafale test aircraft B301 releasing instrumented rounds from stores stations beneath its fuselage.

Paris signed a production contract in December 2010 for an initial 200 missiles to arm its air force- and navy-operated Rafales in frontline use from around 2018. France is a partner on the UK-led Meteor programme, which also involves Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden.
Designed as a European rival to Raytheon's AIM-120 AMRAAM, the Meteor will also arm the Eurofighter Typhoon and Saab Gripen. MBDA also hopes to see the ramjet-powered weapon integrated with the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
