F-22 Tactical Mandates

Abstract

The F-22 Tactical Mandates program is the follow-on modernization effort to Increment 3.2B. This program includes Link 16 Transmit and Mode 5 Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Transpond/Interrogate. Integration will be accomplished using Open Systems Architecture, to enable future life cycle savings opportunities for the platform. The program will require hardware and software modifications to the Block 30/35 combat-coded F-22 fleet. Mode 5 IFF is a Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) mandated blue force identification capability that will directly improve the combat effectiveness of the Raptor as well as reducing fratricide risk DoD-wide. Link 16 Transmit enables 5th-to-5th and 5th-to-4th tactical information exchange - a top Air Force priority. The Raptor's superior 5th Gen sensor suite will now aid the situational awareness of all participants, in any battle space, while further reducing fratricide risk. BA07 - This program is in Budget Activity 07, 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.
