In this paper, the loading methods of EOTS for an exploratory developing fighter were analysed by the technical characteristics of it's operation, maintenance, engineering technology and development cost. By the analysis of operational ability evaluation, the internal type had the merits of stealth function, but the external loading type was preferable to certificate the accessibility, install/detach, compatibility and interoperability with the existing fighter aircraft. From the results of 17 items of technology and development cost evaluation, we found out that the internal type had the advantage of small sizing lightweight, but the external type was highly estimated in the field of application of domestic technology, cost reduction and technical stability for achievement of performance.
