For the Tu-160 developed a new weapon control system and EW

The company "Radioelectronic Technologies" is developing for the Tu-160 new EW complex and weapons control system, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta with reference to the press service of the enterprise.

“KRET is actively working on shaping the look of onboard electronic equipment for this aircraft. Today we can say with complete confidence that the board of the new Tu-160М2 will be made with elements of integrated modular avionics. As part of the modernization project, the Tu-160 KRET will create new computing and on-board systems, controls, a free inertial navigation system, EW complex, fuel-flow-metering systems, as well as weapons control systems, ”the release says.

Help newspaper: "Tu-160" White Swan "- supersonic strategic bomber-rocket carrier with a variable sweep wing. Considered the biggest in stories aviation supersonic aircraft and the heaviest military aircraft in the world. Its length is 54 meters, wingspan 56 meters, and takeoff weight reaches 275 tons. He is also the fastest bomber, his speed is up to 2200 kilometers per hour. "

The news is certainly good, but I would like news about the production of the aircraft itself.

[Tor5]

Exactly! A couple of months ago they said deafly that they would resume production, and since then neither gu-gu.

Well, in order to produce these airplanes, it is not enough to "want"; this requires training, money and a production line. Well, if I'm not mistaken, then they want to install engines from the TU-160 on the IL, a start has been made.
And it’s better to return the canned sides of carcasses back into operation, and at the same time the personnel will refresh knowledge.

[Wedmak]

And it’s better to return the canned carcasses back into service,

Do they exist? It seems like the last unfinished one was completed and given to YES in 2008? There were no more buildings, thanks to the Ukrainians.

The news is good, but it would be better done, and then already PR. IMHO

[Terrible_L.]

yes, it is precisely the case when the result is not important, but the result

result

When American and European fighter planes are afraid to approach the White Swan during patrolling due to a possible failure of navigation and avionics, and after landing, the NATO pilots, following the crew of Donald Cook, will massively submit reports on dismissals, then there will be a result.
And in principle, KRET is doing the right thing by doing PR in the Russian media. Unfortunately, "ground-minded" generals by inertia since the times of the USSR have not paid enough attention to electronic warfare, although they are capable of seriously restraining the enemy's aggressive intentions by non-lethal means and even conducting independent operations in the radio-electronic sphere.
For example, what prevented the installation of the President-S electronic warfare system on the Su-24M? After all, it can be installed even in military conditions. Perhaps the guys were saved and the complex was tested in combat conditions.

[venaya]

The development of electronics is proceeding at such a fast pace that it is more advisable to change it more often to a more modern one, corresponding to the level of today.

[Wedmak]

that the board of the new Tu-160М2 will be made with elements of integrated modular avionics.

And what, Tu-160M is already flying somewhere? You at least deal with the first upgrade. And in general, someone (let's not point a finger) gave the order to start the release of new Tu-160. According to the modernized project Tu-160М. Where is the news from the workshops?
Or am I confused what?

1 plane flies, in 2008 they completed the Tu-160M ​​and transferred it to the Air Force.

Whether in a dream or something, an article from 2015 http://www.business-gazeta.ru/text/141260/ we read and learn

What other projects does the plant apply for? The giant work on the radical modernization of the Tu-22M3, apparently, is only just beginning. Judging by the Tupolev reporting, the contract with the Ministry of Defense for the development of the Tu-22M3M was signed only at the end of 2014 and is designed for a period of up to 2018. According to another potentially large order - a radical modernization of the Tu-160 (Tu-160M) - only the stage of preliminary design and technical design for R&D was completed. The launch of the Tu-160M2 is scheduled for 2023, and in connection with this, the deadlines for the implementation of the PAK DA project are postponed.

and that we see the Tu-160M ​​at the stage of preliminary design and technical development.

And what is so modernized on it? I still served in 2008, and I remember how the engines were removed from military aircraft for installation on this "modernized" aircraft for its ferry to Engels.

And why is it so modernized on it?

No Tu-160M, no ... KVR airplanes pass by KAPO, they put new engines, repair avionics, yesterday 602 the car flew around ...

[Amurets]

Something similar needs to be created for the TU-22M3 and TU-95MS. I don’t think that the TU-95MS will quickly leave the stage. The Americans on the V-52N put navigation systems with the B-767. I don’t know how the issue was solved with the engines for the V-52N? you need to write off successful cars.

[barclay]

The new TU-160 built in Russia, new weapons and a new weapon and electronic warfare control system! Just set up production as soon as possible. When the first updated TU-160 in Russia is released, it will be a "bomb" for NATO! In the meantime, NATO very much hopes that we will not be able to reproduce this aircraft again.

[horoh]

When will the production of new TU-160 be launched ??? Really needed!!!

Apparently, TU160M2 this will be our pack, yes.

[Wedmak]

TU160M2 this will be our pack yes.

They are built according to different schemes. So no, PAK YES on its own.

[dchegrinec]

These planes must be preserved even when the PAK YES "flying wing" appears. They have completely different characteristics and they will all be useful and in demand! The TU-160 can still be modernized for a very long time.

[midashko]

Well developed so what? That's how they would have been developed - this would be good news ...
Yes, such systems must be developed continuously. One was developed, at this time the development of the second is completed, the third is being developed in the middle stage, R&D for the fourth is being compiled, the theory of the fifth system is being developed.
Life is flowing, countermeasures are also being developed. This is an endless story.

We need a fundamentally new bomber of the 21st century! ABSOLUTELY NEW !!!!

There is absolutely nothing new. Every new product almost always has a prototype or prototype. Alas, the laws of aerodynamics are still open in the last century and your bomber will have to look for a fundamentally new aircraft layout, a fundamentally new engine, fundamentally new equipment. All this needs to be invented. who will do it?

[NEXUS]

To restore the production of the TU-160, you need to understand that there are no specialists, no money, no production lines. 13 meters of titanium beam must be made for this aircraft, and the technology is either lost or there is simply nowhere to create it. Add the cost of plane, in the USSR it was 250 million rubles apiece.
I want to really want to restore the production of these machines, especially since we really need them. But to do this, we need a series of at least 50 cars, otherwise it is not cost-effective to start everything. And even the Union produced less than 40 pieces.
Therefore, as I have already said, they will most likely raise archives and revive either the T-4 (Sukhoi), possibly modified using new materials, or (more likely) the T-54S ...

Can I ask a question? T-4 flew and it’s clear that the car took place. But what kind of car is the T-54? Have you read it in the first post?

Development of Sukhoi Design Bureau ... little is known about it ... here is one of the forum links-http: //forums.airbase.ru/2006/09/t51265--t-54-bomber-stels-kb-sukhogo-kto
-nibud-chto-to-znaet.html
By the way, it looks very much like PAK DA on the exterior. Two strategists are too expensive to develop, and therefore one will be convinced, something between PAK DA and TU-160.
As for the T-4, only the first modification of this bomber flew into the air, although there were three modifications. The most promising in this matter is the T-4S. That's what I'm talking about. By the way, in new aircraft, innovative solutions are usually 20-25% , in "weaving" this figure was 85%.
Best regards

[Amurets]

Thank you for the consultation. And about Hundreds: if the first modification flew, the others would fly too. The pilot-pilot at Sukhoi was cool! He would have raised the gates with the engine. Still, Ilyushin is a legendary family.

"For every cunning ass there is a horseradish screw" (c) People. Electronic warfare is not a wunderwolf that makes everything immortal. This is a shield on which the enemy will pick up their weapons. And before serious moments about these certainly good assistants, it is better for potential opponents to know less and not poke them into those zones where everything is visible from ground vehicles to avaks, and there is a chance to outline the principles on which these things work.

horseradish with screw

In the field of radio electronics, "horseradish" is called science, and "screw" is technology. The cycle for research, development and implementation is quite long and takes 3-5 years.

EW is not a child prodigy making everything immortal

For example, if there are electronic warfare systems in the anti-aircraft defense group, then its effectiveness increases several times, for aviation this figure is even greater.

Slowly they are preparing, at the beginning modernization, and there you look and the production of new ones will start ..

[Zomanus]

And the news will go on.
Then the engines started to do, there they developed electronics,
and there they restored the welding of the titanium spar ...
And then fig and roll out.
But this is two years from now ... if they give us these two years.
