This thread or the other one?
I don't think it would be difficult to add IRST, at least later on anyways. I'd say the plumbing work for IFR/AAR was more intensive than integrating IRST to the airframe. And if they can't add IRST to the airframe, they can acquire a IRST via a special mission pod (of which there are several options available). The only drawback to this scenario is that the chin hardpoint is available to either IRST or a ATP, unless we add a second special mission hardpoint.The IIR MAWS/ DAS can in fact work as an irst system and can be used for tracking threats nearby. I recall @messiach mentioning something on those lines.

For DAS to work as a fully functional IRST, EOTS module is a necessity under the nose !!!
Take F-35’s AN/AAQ-37 EOTS for example.
It is a DAS, MAWS and an IRST !!!
Maybe you should consider the limitation of a lightweight fighter.Lately, i have been giving this a thought,
@araz @waz @MastanKhan @Windjammer @Dazzler @JamD ,
Since, we aren’t in a hurry to acquire a complete 5th gen aircraft, that doesn’t mean that we can’t integrate 5th Gen avionics on our Thunders.
Isn’t that what Thunder program is all about ? Providing us with latest solutions in good price tag ?
So,
The elements of 5th gen i am referring to are non other than EOTS and Sensor Fusion.
This could be done on Block 4, and it would benefit us by giving a first hand experience on 5th gen avionics as well as how to improvise them for future.
China can assist in that as well !!!
A J-20 cockpit can as well come in future with single wide screen MFD.
EOTS module is nothing that big to fit in, sizes around 80x80x80cm plus minus.
Just think !!!
Is this a news or old ?HMD-1 had had been tested for blk-3
Is this a news or old ?
I feel like, there will a a minor difference in some aspects on the second prototype as well !!!Almost a year old. More photos/ flights will reveal more goodies in coming days/ weeks. The nose is not exactly as round as the ones in earlier blocks. Its longer and a little elliptical at the front. Will be more visible once painted.
But no IRST on nose
