F-22

Abstract

The F-22 Raptor is a multi-mission fighter aircraft that combines low observability, supercruise, maneuverability and integrated avionics providing air superiority to the Joint Force, access in highly contested environments, as well as homeland and cruise missile defense into the 2040s. To maintain operational relevance, the program continues planned, incremental modernization efforts that enhance both F-22 air superiority and strike capabilities. The F-22 modernization enterprise develops, tests, and fields hardware/software of the air vehicle, engine, Operational Flight Program (OFP), and training systems to improve F-22 weapons, communications, navigation, pilot-vehicle interface, and electronic warfare suite. Funds may be used to resolve emerging safety of flight and diminishing manufacturing sources issues, accommodate technology insertion and fulfill Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or other mandates necessary to ensure continued aircrew safety and mission effectiveness. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2023, $4.488M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2024, $6.300M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
