The Typhoon uses the PIRATE system, an infrared search and track (IRST) system on the port side forward fuselage, for passive target detection. PIRATE detects jet exhaust plumes and surface heating, offering high-resolution target images. It can track up to 200 targets simultaneously in modes like Multiple Target Track (MTT) and Single Target Track (STT).

The Typhoon features the Praetorian Defensive Aids Sub-System (DASS), which automatically detects and responds to air and surface threats. It includes radar warning receivers, missile and laser warning systems, and countermeasures like chaff, flares, an electronic countermeasures (ECM) suite, and a towed radar decoy (TRD).
