The aircraft incorporates a new laser system, a rocket-launch digital control system, a multi-display monitor, and a central smart arms management system.[3] Toufan II has significant upgrades which include the new Eagle-1 electro-optical system, new multifunctional MFD displays instead of several older analog displays, new HUD system and the installation of auxiliary systems on the pilots' helmet. It also has a new canopy, an infrared front-facing camera, which allows the pilot to fly at night and in adverse weather conditions, allowing for better tracking of targets in all weather conditions, and installation of new antennas under the fuselage.[4]
