Avionics Production Factory in PAC is license manufacturing 100% JF-17 avionics including those from European OEMs.
Over the period of time, many among these have been replaced with indigenous components to cater for material and software obsolesce such as MFDs & WMMC...

AZB PGM SERIES
AZB series of precision guided munition (PGM) kits are indigenously developed Range extension kits for use with general purpose Mk series bombs. The weapon is primarily all weather fire and forget system with GNSS guidance as primary source of navigation. The kit can be integrated with aerial platforms including a variety of aircrafts and UAVs based on their weight class category.
SALIENT FEATURES
All weather fire and forget weapon
GNSS guidance as primary source of navigation
Anti GNSS jamming capability
Critical maneuvers to meet operational requirements
Standard interface with Mk / Pk Series Warhead (Blast Frag / Pre-Frag / Penetrator WH)
il Std 810F / 461D compliant
ITAR free
Ultra precision option with Imaging Infrared Seeker available
LGK converts general purpose MK-80 bomb into a precision guided munition by introducing laser guidance. The kit consists of:
Computer Control Group (CCG) for guidance and control (option is available for a tail-end computer control group).
Wing assembly attached to the aft end to provide lift and stability.
SALIENT FEATURES
Uses semi-active laser guidance to strike a designated target with greater accuracy than an unguided bomb
All weather weapon
It has an internal semi active guidance system that detects laser energy and guides the weapon to a target illuminated by an external laser source. (Designator can be located in the delivery aircraft, another aircarft or a ground source).
Know Your Heroes:
Air Cdre Abdul Munem was among the pioneer engineering team that went to China to participate in Design and Development of JF-17.
His major contribution was his work on Fuselage-Wing Attachment of the aircraft which is also one of the most critical structure..
First Batch of JF-17C Block-III will be handed over to PAF shortly. As per sources, aircrew training is already in progress at PAC so that operationalization takes place in minimum time.
Note that JF-17C is a totally different experience due to advanced avionics & full FBW.
