The French Air Force (Space Force and Air Force) has recently been planning the layout of the next generation of warplanes. According to the previous French military planning, in this transition period, the current Mirage 2000D and the Soaring Wind will be upgraded to continue service until 2030 when France’s sixth-generation fighter aircraft SCAF (FCAS) will enter service.
The French military recently said that the first modified Mirage 2000D has arrived at the 118th Air Force Base at the top of Mars Hill, where it was greeted by a fire truck with a water discharge arch. And the modified Mirage 2000D will undergo a year of operational testing at the French air base.
The update of the aircraft is a three-way collaboration between the French military and the aircraft’s manufacturer, Dassault, and the company responsible for fire control equipment, MBDA. In addition to upgrades to the control system for the latest ground attack weapons, in addition to the capabilities of the new generation of MICA air-to-air missiles, the aircraft is also equipped with a navigation and fire control system, the military said the interface is more intuitive and easy to understand.
In addition, the cabin instrumentation has also been upgraded accordingly. From this published picture, the upper and lower two screens (officially, both touch screens) use the Windows system, especially the large display screen above, looks like a Windows tablet.
