Combined Test Force (CTF)

Abstract

The F-22 CTF, 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 early before they are more difficult and costly to resolve. F-22 flight testing is conducted using the AGILE system development environment. The AGILE environment allows the F-22 Raptor program to develop, test, and field software/hardware from multiple programs using a schedule cadence as they mature.
