Lab and Combined Test Force (CTF)

Abstract

The Lab Test and Operations (LTO) is a continuous activity that plans and conducts development, integration, test, and verification of F-22 TACMan and TACLink 16 OFPs and hardware. The LTO provides maintenance, staffing, and operation of 18 development labs including five unique major SILs: the AIL, RaIL, ACS, VIF, and VSS. The F-22 Combined Test Force, located at Edwards Air Force Base, conducts full-up weapons system testing to assess the effect of the F-22 combined characteristics of stealth speed, maneuverability, and integrated avionics upon mission accomplishment. The CTF uses operationally significant ground and flight test scenarios to identify system performance deficiencies of TACMAN and TACLink 16 early before they are more difficult and costly to resolve.
