Russian fighter jet T-50 will protect from the "freezing"
Ministry of Industry industrial technology needed to create electronic filling for fifth-generation fighter PAK-FA (T-50). For the development of integrated modular avionics (IMA) combat systems department is ready to pay almost 68 million. Requires the development of data-processing modules that are responsible for the implementation of most processes, aircraft navigation, on-screen display, navigation, and many others - with the exception of the primitive sort of conditioning and landing gear.
In fact, the PAK FA is ready, the first batch of aircraft should, according to the plans of the Ministry of Defense, to get off the assembly line in 2015. Three prototype cars are undergoing flight test program. Therefore the Ministry of Industry is required industrial technology of thin avionics.
Most of the information about the characteristics of the T-50 is kept secret, it is known only that the aircraft meets the fighter of the fifth generation: developing a supersonic speed without afterburner turn, has a low radar visibility, maneuvers with significant loads.
According to the tender documents, the main objective of the project - to move from classical multimachine computer system to an integrated under the concept of IMA.
- A rejection of the system in which each individual task solves a single machine. Embedded systems, where many tasks can be executed on a single processor, - explained the "News" Konstantin Egorov, modular avionics specialist, head of the laboratory at the Research Institute of Aviation Systems.
Yegorov said that the technology is being promoted in the civil aviation, and, obviously, should be present in a military aircraft. IMA is less expensive than the conventional system, and thus may provide better performance. Each process gets a priority level, the most critical run first, so the system is protected from "freezing."
If the transition to the IMA does not happen in the T-50, it will affect the entire industry, because the creation of the fighter - one of the main incentives for the development of military-industrial complex of Russia, stated in the tender documentation. Global aviation industry has been transferred to a new integrated avionics system for more than ten years ago.
- Preservation of the classical scheme will increase the gap from the world of practice and finally make the domestic aviation industry uncompetitive - the authors predict that the terms of reference.
- This is a critical step forward for the Russian avionics - agrees expert in defense research, a senior fellow Ilya Klabukov MIPT. - From the point of view of improving military equipment and improve the country's defense program claimed no objection.
The specialists are advised to pay attention to the technical requirements for systems to be developed for the fighter. According to them, the equipment with the stated performance is unlikely to provide the technological superiority of Russia.
- The approach to its design is similar to both the designer and the Lego obsession to catch up with Lockheed Martin (a company specializing in the field of aviation. - "News"), and not on the technology of military superiority, - complains Klabukov. - As the basis for a system of standards is taken and the American Association of ARINC VITA, as if not designed avionics for the PAK FA, and for export Sukhoi Superjet.
Klabukov assumes onboard digital computer will
collected from refined CPUs development of JSC "MCST". In his view, the domestic circuit quite well for military equipment needed for the fighter class products military and space, where reliability is important. Even if you want to use chips from overseas that idea did not work out would be for this, Russia would have to either join, or seize equipment fraudulently. It is unlikely that any of the leading manufacturers of this equipment will sell Russia chip construction fighter.

which is rather pointless.
