The "Electronic Bird" system incorporates a complex of radio engineering system simulators. It allows testing navigation, landing, surveillance and communication systems on the aircraft in real time.

A special feature of the new stand is its layout and the applied technical solutions designed to facilitate the work of testers, designers and maintenance personnel and to organize the simultaneous work of groups of specialists, which increases the efficiency of the stand, reduces the risk of equipment damage during operation and speeds up the testing of BEC.
