殲-16電子戰型攻擊機系在殲-16戰鬥攻擊機的基礎之上發展研制而成。在保留殲-16原有武器系統的基礎上，加裝戰術接收機、戰術電子幹擾吊艙等設備，最終形成一款集電子攻擊和戰鬥攻擊於一身的新型電子戰飛機，由於殲-16本身就安裝了有源電子掃描相控陣雷達等先進的航電系統，因此國產新型電子戰飛機經過改裝、改進之後將具備強悍的「軟殺傷「能力，而殲-16優異的多功能性又可以使其擁有很強的」硬殺傷能力「和戰場生存能力。殲-16電子戰型的服役使中國空軍首次擁有與重型戰鬥機同一平台的先進電子戰飛機，殲擊航空兵將能獨立擔負起戰役縱深精確打擊的職責，和轟炸航空兵的打擊範圍銜接也將更加緊密。因此，這款看似不起眼的新型戰機，將是中國空軍走向攻防兼備的又一個裡程碑

Possible J-16 EW variant makes its first flight
http://www.janes.com/article/56855/...ts-first-flight
A new electronic warfare variant of the SAC J-16 reportedly first flew on 18 December 2015.
A possible new electronic warfare (EW) variant of the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) J-16 twin-seat strike fighter made its first flight on 18 December, according to Chinese sources, potentially adding a significant offensive capability to the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).
Images of the new variant have emerged on several Chinese military web pages, including a 21 December 2015 video report on the popular Ifeng web page. The most salient modifications are two new wingtip pods similar to the Northrop Grumman AN/ALQ-218 Tactical Jamming Receiver, leading to comparisons with the E/A-18G Growler electronic attack variant of Boeing's Super Hornet.
This possible J-16 EW prototype appears to lack the usual fuselage-mounted gun and the infrared search and tracking system (IRST) also appears to be missing, but the J-16, which resembles the Russian Sukhoi Su-30, would have up to 10 wing and fuselage hardpoints for ordnance and active jamming pods.
A close-up of the new electronic warfare pod on the wingtips of the SAC J-16 shows a similarity to the Northrop Grumman AN/ALQ-218 Tactical Jamming Receiver.
The PLA is known to have developed three tactical electronic warfare pods. The first, similar in size to the EDO Corporation AN/ALQ-99, may come in receiver and transmitter versions and was first seen on Xian Aircraft Corporation JH-7 strike fighters in 2007. A smaller KG600 pod also equips JH-7s, while the KG300 appears to be an export variant.
An EW version of the J-16 equipped similarly to the E/A-18G would give PLAAF strike packages a far greater chance of reaching their targets and avoiding increasingly capable air defences.
Development of a J-16 EW variant could also lead to a similar carrier warfare version of the twin-seat J-15S.
Chinese commentators note that, just as the Growler enables US air forces, an active jamming version of the J-16 would allow the PLAAF to decrease its dependence on large and vulnerable electronic support aircraft based on the Shaanxi Y-8 airframe.
While in early 2014 an Asian government source estimated that 100 J-16s would be in PLA service by 2020, the emergence of an EW version could increase that number.
