Simple speaking, it's the eyes of next gen fighter.
More than four EODAS could provide pilot 360° panoramic view around fighter. The pilot can "see through" the bottom and side of aircraft by EODAS, there is no observed dead when the fighter fly in the sky. When EODAS work in the infrared range, the system can identify missile attack and track approaching dangerous target, finally show all warnings and around aircraft coordinate information to pilot. All 360° air situation information will be displayed by pilot's HMD.
F-35 have Six EODAS on her body:
J-20 have Five EODAS:
Chinese version EODAS devices, but some ppl told me this pic showed early monkey version equipments, not latest.
I remember Russia T-50 have four EODAS on her body, Su-35 have three EODAS, China JF-17 have one EODAS install on rear tail, F-22 ... I didn't find the same EODAS on her body, maybe hide somewhere? I wish some ppl can provide a pic about F-22 EODAS prove i'm wrong . |
