Actually, it's true. The DASS on the typhoon (defensive aid sub-system) has forward and aft missile approach warning phased array radar detection systems that warn the pilot of an approaching missile - whether IR, SARH, or ARH.
However - and this is a BIG however - it's not a passive system like the UV detection warning systems used by... well whoever :smilewink: . So, this system emits electromagnetic energy making the typhoon much less stealthy and able to be located with the proper detection equipment.
The plusses of this system are that it can warn of approach of missiles of any type in any type of phase of the missiles flight - boost, sustainer, or glide. The minus is that it's active and detectable.
The UV system on the other hand can detect all types of missiles (IR, etc.) but only in the boost .... phase of the flight. Once gliding, it emits no UV signature to track and is lost by the warning system. BUT it's not a source of electromagnetic energy, so consequently doesn't interfere with detection of the aircraft.
