KRET develop electronic warfare system for the Russian aircraft sixth generation – TASS

MOSCOW, 23 June. / TASS /. Concern “Radio-electronic technology” (KRET, part of the state corporation “Rostec”) conducts research in the field of electronic warfare systems (ECM) for the domestic battle of the sixth-generation aircraft, said on Thursday the press service of the concern.

“with the company will create a special electronic warfare system to combat the sixth generation aircraft in a new sample of the tool is achieved almost complete automation of the entire process of the onboard complex defense, with integrated antenna systems and instrumentation packages with basic avionics of the aircraft.” – said in a statement, received by Tass.

The press service specified that this applies not only airborne radar, and communications and data transmission systems, IFF, navigation.

Advisor first Deputy General Director KRET Vladimir Mikheev, whose words are contained in the report, said that the current and future aircraft electronic warfare systems are equipped with wideband receivers and apply digital signal processing that allows you to automatically generate a database for the identification of sources of radiation and “ultimately to decide on the radio-electronic protection and electronic countermeasures (loss) “.

” The most advanced system for direction finding radiation sources provide and their high precision geolocation, sufficient to employ guided weapons “, – said Mikheyev

About. work on the sixth-generation aircraft became known in early March.

According to the commander of aerospace forces of Russia Viktor Bondarev, is being developed not only manned but also unmanned version. In early June, the head of the Directorate of the programs of military aircraft of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) Vladimir Mikhailov told Tass that the Russian battle sixth-generation aircraft will be hypersonic, and its prototype will make its first flight until 2025.

Now the place in Russia testing fifth-generation fighter PAK FA (also known as T-50), first flew in 2010. It claimed that the state test aircraft completed in 2016, and in 2017 will begin serial deliveries of these trucks to the army.
