F-22

Abstract

The F-22 Raptor represents the USAF's top priority for providing the Joint Force with air dominance, operational access, homeland and cruise missile defense for the next 20+ years. The F-22 is a first-of-a-kind multi-mission fighter aircraft that combines stealth, supercruise, advanced maneuverability and integrated avionics to make it the world's most capable combat aircraft. While F-22 aircraft production has completed as of May 2012, funding for F-22 modernization is "continuing" beyond the FYDP. The Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and production phase of F-22 acquisition is complete. The program is now continuing the pre-planned and evolutionary modernization effort through incremental development phases that enhance the F-22 anti-access, area denial, and Global Strike capability. The development program modernizes and upgrades the air vehicle, engine, and training systems to improve/enhance F-22 weapons, communications, and Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. BA7- This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
