Looks almost like a wingless TALD. Its the Defensive Aids Sub System (DASS) pod it contains a Laser Warning Receiver, among several other systems!!. See http://www.eurofighter.starstreak.ne.../defences.html for full details John, I think he's asking about the gizmo in the pylon inbaord of the wingtip, not the DASS pod at the tip itself. Oh.. Sorry. in that case its most likely a smokewinder....!! My guess is that it's an instrumentation pod of some sort, possibly for AMCI, or maybe for flight testing.
