New Communications Suite for Russian Su-57 Stealth Jet

Russia’s Su-57 stealth fighter jet will soon be equipped with new communications suit that includes data exchange, navigation and identification (OSNOD) with enhanced encryption protection and anti-jamming features.

"The new version was designed specifically for the Su-57. It is now undergoing state trials as part of its systems,”Alexei Ratner, the head of the Polet science and technical center of the Russian Electronics holding, was quoted as saying by TASS.

The new system also protects encrypted data constantly, even if communication is intercepted, Ratner said.
