In recent publications devoted to 6th generation fighters, as a rule, the main attention is paid to the features of the aircraft. However, it is equally important to form an idea of the radio control system as a whole.

The article discusses the main properties of the 6th generation radio control system as a whole: dynamism, reduction of unmasking features, group actions within a multi-position system, network-centric nature of information support, resource optimization, an extended range of speeds, up to hypersonic, trajectory surveillance control, the use of artificial intelligence and multifunctional application.

At the same time, the radio-electronic control system is considered as a kind of complex technical system. The role and place of architecture and hierarchical multilevel way of building radio-electronic control system are marked.

The requirements for the mathematical apparatus of radio-electronic control system optimization in solving problems of management, information support and resource management are discussed.
