Zhou Chenming, a researcher from the Yuan Wang military science and technology institute in Beijing, said the design concept of the J-16D was "very similar" to the F-15E Strike Eagle multirole fighter used by the US Air Force. All three aircraft are equipped with computer-controlled active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar systems that allow them to better communicate with each other and detect enemies earlier. The J-16D is a multirole fighter that can jam enemy radars and was designed to accompany the J-20 and J-10C fighter jets. "So the two aircraft will benefit each other when they team up during a future battle." "Both the J-16D and the J-20 can evade detection by rival radar systems," Wang said. Wang Mingliang, a researcher at the PLA Air Force Command College in Beijing, told the state broadcaster that the new aircraft - which can carry a range of weapons, interference and surveillance devices - would be more effective when working with other warplanes like the J-20 stealth fighter jet.
