I was wondering when this was going to surface! The Tiger is a fully digital aircraft in that all its avionics are tied together by a databus (read computer LAN). The development of the Tiger has been going on for so long it was a monty that those computer bits and pieces would run into old age issues before long.
It is not a matter of whether we upgrade the Army's 22 aircraft, we will have to. Or throw them away.
PS. The NH-90 will shortly run into similar problems with ageing computers.
