Airbus has, for the first time, provided a comprehensive breakdown of the Tiger Mk III upgrade it plans to roll out to France, Germany, and Spain.

Speaking at the Airbus Defence and Space annual Trade Media Briefing, Airbus Helicopters' executive vice-president Matthieu Louvot said that the work to be carried out for each nation will be slightly different, though there will be a high degree of commonality between them.

“The versions will diverge somewhat – they are not exactly the same – but there will be a very large degree of convergence, [with] a lot of the systems in common,” he said. “There is a great dynamic to capture the benefits of similar configurations, [and] there is way more commonality than we could have expected”.
