However, in contrast to them, we decided not to load the main onboard computer of Su-57 with processing the entire volume of primary data. “We worked in similar directions with the US designers at the initial stage. colleagues during the design of the F-22 and F-35 fighter jet systems. (On November 19th, 2018, The Moscow Times published video of the Su-57 doing combat flight testing in Syria, shown above.)Īccording to the designers, they use another approach for the design of the avionics for the Su-57 that is unique from the approach used by their U.S.

In totality, Su-57’s onboard software already exceeds 4 million lines of code and will be further expanded through the introduction of a number of complex functional modes for processing complex information. “If in the past, in order to calculate the functions of each unit we had to use separate systems, the use of the new avionics helps to to implement control for all systems of the aircraft simultaneously,” said Gribov. There is also a control system featured within the avionics which controls almost all of the key systems of the aircraft, including its location, navigation and communication. In addition, it is capable of planning the most optimal route to an objective. The computer simultaneously performs the role of an electronic pilot, an electronic navigator and an electronic flight engineer capable of automatically recognizing and determining adversaries and targets.
Sukhoi Design Bureau engineers describe the Su-57 avionics as featuring a central computer which controls all of the aircraft systems, including weapons and intellectual support of the pilot. The multi-core base of the complex provides almost unlimited possibilities,” said Gribov. It is operated on the concept of network-centricity, which involves a consistent upgrading of onboard systems and operating complexes of the aircraft. “The avionics on the Su-57 fighter is based on the entirely new architecture, which, to date, has never been used in Russian military aviation. Gribov said the new system took four years to develop. This program can also be adjusted during the execution of a combat mission at any time. The program comprises intelligence data, information about weapon systems of the target, its coordinates and other relevant data. Prior to each Su-57 flight, a special flight program is prepared and loaded into the flight management computer. This provides an opportunity to not only to exchange information with other fighters, but also to perform a lead role, giving orders and setting priorities during the attack.Īccording to Dmitry Gribov, a chief designer of the new complex, it will replace the fourth generation avionics designed in 2004 that operated on the basis of the Russian Baguet on-board computer system. The new complex is based on Russian multi-core chips and an operating system, which works within a “real-time” mode in close communications with other fighter jets, military transport aircraft and ground forces.
