A special feature and the main difference between the Su-57 and the control systems on previous generation aircraft, such as the Su-35S and Su-30SM, is the ability to integrate with unmanned aerial vehicles.
For integration with the next generation aircraft, the Sukhoi Design Bureau developed the heavy strike UAV S-70 "Okhotnik", which interacts according to the "leader-follower" scheme.
The Su-57 is capable of controlling the actions of UAVs, delegating individual tasks to it, and the system automatically distributes targets and resources between platforms. This combination expands the tactical capabilities of the aviation group and allows for the implementation of new combat scenarios.
At the same time, the practice of operating modern information and control systems in real combat conditions shows that even with a high degree of automation and intellectualization, technical failures are possible.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the latest X-UAV missile for drones will be modernized: combat power will increase.
