BAE Systems announced the first live-firing of MBDA’s Brimstone air-to-surface missile from a Eurofighter Typhoon in its 14 July news release. The launch has been successfully completed as part of Phase 3 Enhancement (P3E) package which aims to significantly upgrade the capability of the aircraft. The trial was designed to test the separation of the low-collateral, high-precision Brimstone weapon when it is released. In total, nine firings will take place to expand the launch and range capabilities. 

CEO for Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH Volker Paltzo said, “Brimstone will provide the Typhoon pilot with the ability to precisely attack fast-moving targets at range, further enhancing the aircraft's already highly potent air-to-surface capabilities.”
