F-22

Abstract

The F-22 Raptor represents the USAF's priority placed on providing the Joint Force with air dominance, operational access, and homeland & cruise missile defense for the next 25+ years. The F-22 is a 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 Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and aircraft production completed May 2012, funding for F-22 modernization is "continuing" beyond the FYDP. This program funds all non-MDAP development efforts for the F-22. 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, Air Superiority and Global Strike capabilities. The development program modernizes and upgrades the air vehicle, engine, avionics, and training systems to improve/enhance F-22 weapons, communications, EW, and ISR capabilities.
