History

The Defensive Aids Sub-System (DASS) for the Eurofighter Typhoon continues to be a collaborative effort between the UK, Italy, Germany and Spain. In the early 1990s and the infancy of the contract, Germany and latterly Spain withdrew from the four-nation partnership.

The following timeline details the significant milestones since the early 1990s.
