MAKS: Chinese firm unveils new sensors for J-20, J-31

A privately-owned Chinese sensor company has unveiled a suite of air-to-air and air-to-ground sensors in development for the latest Chinese and Russian fighters.

Wang Yanyong, technical director for Beijing A-Star Science and Technology, confirms that two systems – the EOTS-89 electro-optical targeting system (EOTS) and the EORD-31 infrared search and track (IRST) – are in development for China’s J-20 and J-31 fighters.

Marketing brochures on A-Star’s booth suggest that the J-20 could use the passive sensors to detect and aim missiles against the Northrop Grumman B-2 bomber and Lockheed Martin F-22 fighter, even while its radar is being being jammed by a Boeing EA-18G Growler. It lists detection ranges for the B-2 at 150km and for the F-22 at up to 110km.

Both systems have completed ground testing in a laboratory, and are now ready to enter flight testing, he says. Chinese combat aircraft manufacturer AVIC is considering integrating the sensors on a testbed aircraft, then could decide to test them on the J-20 and J-31, he says. Operational status is at least a year away for both sensors and possibly longer, Yanyong adds.

A-Star exhibited the systems at MAKS in hopes of attracting buyers from Russian and Commonwealth of Independent States countries, he says.

a lot of people think that chinas tech is not good but it catching up at a unprecedented pace i would imagine about 5-7 years away.

2x WS-13 can reach the performance of 1xF135 on F35 or not?

We've made according to our resources.. And IA we will make even more. It's all about money.

Any updates on engine? ws13? TVC in particular...... any thing? Latest news? Rumors? Wild guesses :p

Li Yuhai, deputy general manager of AVIC, told reporters in November, “Since the start of the J-31's development, we have planned to use the plane to end some foreign nations' dominance of the fifth-generation fighter jet. One of its variants will be specifically designed for export,” Chinese media reported.

Export of the J-31 would be a breakthrough for China's aviation industry because the plane would give AVIC a substantial boost in competition with Western defense aircrafts.

The J-31 has a combat range of 1,200km and a top speed of 2,205 km/h. The fifth-generation fighter jet also has a maximum payload capacity of 8 metric tons and service span of 30 years.

Xu Bangnian, a professor at the PLA Air Force Command Institute, said he expected international demand for the plane as it seemed to be the only choice for developing countries who are interested in an affordable fifth-generation stealth aircraft.

im not a hacker...china got the best hackers in the world!!!!

Since India is so proud of its IT technologies, why not hack into Pantagon and then build your own F22 or F35?

Nice one .Only thing Indians can do is called SU-30 as there own project ,MIG Ug upgrade Indigenous ,with LCA more than half of components from Design to engine its own .In Urdu we say Nukul ke liya bhi ukul chahiya hottey hai means in order to copy you still need wisdom

Please give us a time device to stop time for atleast 30 to 40 years....just google " development of engine" and you would know that big countries took and spend how much time and effort in refining the tech they are presenting now....so if you suggest that we can do that ....i am sure we can but atleast it would require 10 years ....so in coming ten years what are our chance of survival....bro be realistic...we need JV's....it would be like some one give you hand in some difficult job...got my point

Hi,

They cannot build with actual blueprints and tech support----and you talk about building one from hacked material.

J31 is very young & it will take time for J31 to develop completely.

I see China really working hard on J20 more than J31. any how lets wait & see what happens, PAF is looking for a modern & advance fighters so lets hope for the best.

Is Pakistan serous for buying this aircraft? well it seems to be good in PAF....!!!!

it is only option viable to pakistan, F-35 no chance and very expensive, TFX is initial stages of their development, KFX late stages of development and least chance.

why not go for J-20 has better design,more fire power can easily outperform any western stealth counterparts,engine is surprisingly not RD-93 that thing smokes more than 2 stroke rickshaw to be honest.
FC 31 is a 5th gen aircraft but just not a capable one.
People read in the articles that the Chinese stole/hacked F-35 tech hence claim FC-31 equally powerful to F-35 but what they did not read was it was hacked back in 2009,F-35 tech is improving every second had many facelift and alot new gizmos added,Chinese engineers are quite talented and are improving the FC 31 but F 35 is being jointly devolved by all finest engineers from 5 countries who made there own aircraft not copied others....
FC-31 might be good against 3rd or 4th gen aircraft but surely it can not stand a chance against any 5th gen in the block.
It failed to impress people in the air show too.
J-20 is a better option overall then FC-31,idk ACM knows better.
