A new digital communication system has been installed into the fifth-generation multirole fighter Su-57.
According to the press office of the “Roselectronics” holding company, a subsidiary of Rostec, as reported by TASS on August 7th, the communication systems for the advanced multirole fighter Su-57, created by NPP “Polet” (part of “Roselectronics”), has been incorporated into the aircraft.
It is emphasised that the implementation of this complicated system will result in an improvement in the standard of the information that is transmitted. The system’s designers are confident that it can be installed on any aircraft, including those of older generations, and will function well.
The new facility functions in the high and very high-frequency ranges, and it has improved immunity to interference and surveillance. It features encoding and decoding components that are resistant to being jammed, a receiver for signals coming from worldwide satellite navigation systems and a bus for digital signal processing and synchronisation.
It was stated on August 4th that a new RVV-MD2 short-range missile was developed for the Russian Su-57. These missiles are predicted to be five to ten years ahead of anything the United States might develop. Rapid progress was made during the “air-to-air” missile development and testing phases; additionally, arming these missiles has already begun.
