Flight control system of JF-17 Block-III aircraft is a full authority, three axis, and quad redundant digital fly by wire system
Quad-redundancy in Fly By Wire System
Autopilot, Auto spin recovery and Auto TEF controls
Environment Control System and Oxygen System
Effective control of cockpit pressure and temperature
Effective temperature and humidity control of cockpit
and avionics for optimum performance
Efficient Anti G system for Pilot
The Avionics suite makes the JF-17 an effective weapon platform. The glass cockpit and hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS) controls reduce pilot workload.
Accurate navigation and weapon aiming information on the head up display helps the pilot achieve his mission effectively.
Comfortable Cockpit Escape and Egress System
NVG compatible cockpit conforming to US MIL
Standard, suitable for 3% to 98% percentile range of pilots.
Single Piece Stretch Acrylic Transparent Canopy providing a good all-around Field of View
Ejection Seat
Latest Martin Baker high performance ejection seat
Canopy Severance System for additional safety
French Oxygen Regulation System
Passive Leg Restraint System
The Multifunction displays provide information on engine, fuel, hydraulics, electrical, flight control and environmental control system on a need-to-know basis along with basic flight and tactical information.
The capability has been built around highly modern state-of-the-art avionics equipment that can undertake high-tech aerial warfare in an all-weather operations, detecting/tracking/locating by AESA Radar in complicated ECM environment ensuring improved Short-Range Air-to-Air and Beyond Visual Range multi-target attack capability.
The salient avionics equipment is as follows:
Dual redundant mission computers
Dual redundant 1553 Mux bus architecture
AESA Radar capable of tracking multiple targets with prioritized firing
In-built self-protection jamming
Internal and external SPJ suites
Ring laser gyro inertial navigation system tied with GPS
Smart head up display with up front control panel and 28 Degrees FoV
It is anticipated that discussions between Modi and Biden will also encompass topics such as the co-production of munitions and ground vehicles, including armored personnel carriers, as per the sources.
THE CASE OF OZGUR F-16 UPGRADES WITHOUT SOURCE CODES
"U.B.A.S or Aircraft Independent Firing System is the Turkish workaround for not being able to upgrade or integrate local weapons with US Supplied F-16s in absence of OFP Source Codes.
Source codes = programming software that makes up the executable Operational Flight Program (OFP) in the mission computer. You cannot modify your aircraft in any way or fire certain weapons without having access to those codes.
As a simplified explaination - accesses the weapons interface using that tablet on the ICP/UFC, which is hooked up to a device on the glareshield. That enables the pilot to select a weapon and view its firing parameters.
It's a pretty ingenious solution for a complicated and sensitive problem because Turkey only has access to the source codes for their Block 30 F-16s and a few of the Block 40s that their test squadron flies that weren't upgraded under the CCIP program.
Turkey has made significant progress in modernizing its F-16s with domestic resources. The project for an independent aircraft firing system is nearing its end.
