That`s the rear cockpit of the Brazilian Air Force two seater F-5FM.

Original designations of the not upgraded aircraft: F-5E and F-5F of the Brazilian Air Force.

Designations of the upgraded aircraft: F-5EM (single seat) and F-5FM (two-seat version)

 

The upgrades done by Elbit (Israeli defense electronics manufacturer) and Embraer (Brazilian aerospace conglomerate):

"Each aircraft receives a new avionics package of navigation/armaments and aiming/self-defense systems, computers, and multi-mode radar. They also undergo structural improvements and their armaments are standardized with other FAB weaponry.

After the upgrading is completed, the FAB military designation for the jets will be the F-5EM(single-seater) and F-5FM (two-seater).The cockpit of the F-5M is designed for all types of weather, day and night. The configuration permits handling all controls with the HOTAS (Hands On Throttle and Stick) concept. Two high-performance computers and an integrated INS/GPS navigational system are also included. Three multifunctional color monitors and a Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) give the F-5M the best man-machine interface available. All of the visual and lighting systems of this aircraft were projected for use with night vision goggles.

Besides greater systems integration, other important upgrades include multi-mode long-range air-to-air search and tracking radar, air-to-ground and weapons aiming capabilities, Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), encrypted radio communications to protect data exchanges between the FAB’s F-5M and R-99A early warning aircraft or ground control centers, an On-Board Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS) and fuel management. Electronic advances have brought a significant reduction in the size and weight of on-board components, replacing outdated items with new ones. The only noticeable external change is the new and larger nose cone, to accommodate the bigger radar antenna."
