Su-57

-


Su-57 is a 5th generation multifunctional fighter designed to destroy all types of air targets in long-range and close combat, to destroy enemy ground and surface targets with overcoming enemy air defense systems, to monitor airspace at large distances from the base, to destroy the action control system enemy aircraft.

Su-57 implemented:

high maneuverability and flight performance;

long supersonic cruising flight;

Short takeoff and landing

· measures to ensure low radar and infrared visibility;

· omnidirectional and multi-channel use of weapons against both air and ground (sea) targets;

· a qualitatively new level of aircraft protection by passive and active means, including as part of a group;

· high noise immunity of OBE and ASP operation.

The fifth generation aircraft has the most advanced avionics system with unprecedented characteristics.

The Su-57 is equipped with a fundamentally new set of deeply integrated avionics with an open architecture, which has a high level of control automation and intelligent crew support with the possibility of expansion and modernization. The implementation of an open architecture greatly reduces the load on the pilot and allows you to concentrate on performing tactical tasks.

The onboard equipment of the new aircraft allows for real-time data exchange both with ground control systems and within the aviation group, as well as performing tasks autonomously.

The aircraft has a wide range of weapons, both air-to-air and air-to-surface, which provide fighter and strike missions.

Su-57 has the ability to carry out covert actions, due to the low level of visibility in the radar, infrared and visible ranges. The experimental work carried out allows us to consider the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft as one of the best in its class.

One of the features of the Su-57 is the widespread use of composite materials in the airframe design. On the one hand, such structures have high rates of weight return when operating under complex loading conditions. On the other hand, the technology for manufacturing honeycomb panels has been mastered by production, which has made it possible to reduce the level of risk, significantly expand the scope of composite materials and bring the total percentage of PCM in the Su-57 design to 24%. In addition, the use of large-sized panels made it possible to significantly reduce the labor intensity of assembly work.

The auxiliary power unit installed on the Su-57 ensures high basing autonomy, reduced fuel consumption during ground testing and saving the life of sustainer engines. The use of an onboard oxygen-producing unit ensures practically unlimited flight time and the exclusion of ground oxygen refueling. The use of a generator-type neutral gas explosion safety system on the aircraft, in conjunction with other measures, made it possible not only to ensure the autonomy of the basing, but also to realize the unprecedented characteristics of the combat survivability of the aircraft.

The Su-57 uses a new Escape Means Complex, which ensures the rescue of the pilot in emergency situations over the entire range of altitudes and speeds of its use.

The aircraft has implemented a new approach to maintenance (TO) of the aircraft due to:

· Adaptation of the aircraft maintenance system to the operating conditions adopted by the Customer;

· Optimization of the types of maintenance and the frequency of their implementation with the exclusion of routine maintenance and the replacement of overhaul by control and restoration work;

Use of built-in controls for all types of maintenance;

Preparation of the aircraft for flights by one aircraft technician with connection

specialists of variable composition (2-6 people), included in the technical calculation, providing training for flights of a group of aircraft;

· Perform periodic maintenance without dismantling the equipment from the aircraft;

Use of universal means of ground automated control

to check the dismantled on-board equipment;

Using only the current automatic control mode

aircraft systems and equipment during its preparation for flights;

· Checks of systems and equipment, replacement of equipment on the first line by one specialist.

Thus, the set of technical solutions embedded in the Su-57 made it possible to obtain a qualitatively new level of performance and ensure superiority over all modern aircraft of this class.

The Su-57 is the most advanced aircraft in the product line of the Sukhoi Company and, starting from 2020, will become the company's main product in the aviation market.

Russia’s New ‘Poseidon’ Super-Weapon

-
Image
  As Russia  ratchets up the nuclear threat  over the past few days, following their invasion of Ukraine, one of the weapons  on people’s minds is Poseidon . This nuclear ‘mega torpedo’ is unique in the history of the world. Despite speculation, we do not believe that Poseidon has been deployed. The system is not yet ready. But it does raise concerns for nuclear stability in the near future. It changes the shape of nuclear deterrence and will become one of Russia’s most feared weapons. Poseidon is an ‘Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedo’. It is a giant torpedo which can hit coastal cities with devastating results. Compared to an intercontinental ballistic missile it is very slow, but  possibly unstoppable . Russia maintains that it can also be used as a tactical nuclear weapon against warships. High-value targets would include aircraft carriers. This is harder to rationalize than the second-strike nuclear deterrence role, but it is ...

Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian

  Fujian  ( 18 ;  Chinese :  福建舰 ;  pinyin :  Fújiàn Jiàn ) or the  Type 003  aircraft carrier is a second-generation Chinese  aircraft carrier  under  outfitting  for the  People's Liberation Army Navy  (PLAN) of China. It is named after  Fujian  province situated west of the 110-mile-wide  Taiwan Strait .  Launched  on June 17, 2022,  Fujian  is China's first aircraft carrier to use a  CATOBAR  system and  electromagnetic catapults . The Type 003 class was originally unofficially called Type 002 when  Shandong , China's then-incomplete second carrier, was believed to be designated Type 001A.  Shandong ' s official designation, Type 002, was revealed during commissioning. Observers hence believed the third carrier will be Type 003. The Type 003 is expected to use  integrated electric propulsion  (IEP) and  electromagnetic catapults ,...

   Aegis Common Source Library (CSL) enables customers to rapidly integrate new capabilities across the fleet in a “build once, use many times” framework. Aegis CSL can be used across a variety of ship classes and land-based systems to perform a wide range of missions. Lockheed Martin applies its unique combat system expertise to deliver a combat system capability that supports the diverse missions of the Surface Navy while applying  a common, open architecture across the entire fleet and around the world. Today, the CSL is used on Aegis Cruisers and Destroyers, Littoral Combat Ships, Coast Guard National Security Cutters and Offshore Patrol Vessels, Aegis Ashore and is planned for Frigate, Canadian Surface Combatant, and the Saudi Multi-Mission Surface Combatant. Aegis allies have grown to include Japan, Canada, Norway, Korea, Spain, and Australia. These international partners are currently building ships that will draw from the CSL to support their mission on Frigates a...
