    F-22 Raptor Air Dominance Delivered

    Defining Air Dominance


    Ten miles up, 100 miles around. The F-22 brings an entirely new level of fighter capabilities as it defends the skies. By integrating a wealth of different features from stealth to supercruise this 5th generation fighter defines air dominance. Very Low Observable Stealth. VLO stealth enables the Raptor to operate 24/7 over hostile areas while remaining virtually undetected by enemy air or ground forces. Supercruise Speeds. The Raptors lethality and survivability are sharply enhanced by its ability to operate for extended periods at speeds greater than Mach 1.5 . . . without afterburners. Extreme Fighter Agility. The F-22 brings an additional asymmetric advantage due to its superior aerodynamic performance and ability to outmaneuver opposing forces through acceleration and razor-sharp turns. Information Fusion. With 360-degree battlespace awareness, F-22 pilots can autonomously gather and fuze intelligence,

    conduct surveillance to identify and sort threats and then easily carry out the attack. Joint Force Enabler. The F-22 provides transformational capabilities that are essential to countering air-to-air threats and defeating integrated air defenses today and for the next 30 years. This, in turn, ensures safe and effective joint and coalition forces operations starting on Day One of a conflict.

    Americas Front Line of Defense


    The Collier Trophy-winning F-22 Raptor has consistently delivered on its promises in all of its operational exercises. The fighter has demonstrated precision attack capabilities by defeating threats in the air and on the ground through its lethality and survivability. Operational Today. The Raptor is proven in worldwide deployment. F-22s are flown by the Total Force. Currently, two active duty squadrons and one Air National Guard associate unit fly Raptors at Langley AFB, Va.; two active duty squadrons and one Air Force Reserve Command unit operate the aircraft at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska; one active duty and one AFRC associate squadron at Holloman AFB, N.M., fly F-22s; and one Air National Guard and one active associate squadron operate at Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Raptor pilots train at Tyndall AFB, Fla., and maintainers are trained at Sheppard AFB, Texas.

    Operational testing is conducted at Edwards AFB, Calif., with tactics development at Nellis AFB, Nev. The USAF Weapons School at Nellis also flies F-22s.

    Staying Ahead of Emerging Threats


    The F-22 Raptor is the worlds most dominant fighter aircraft. However, potential threats continue to emerge and proliferate worldwide, such as advancing surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles, electronic jammers, passive targeting and lowobservable aircraft. This presents a rising challenge to the ability of the United States and allied air forces worldwide to gain and maintain air superiority during future conflicts. To preserve the ability of the United States to operate at a time and place of its choosing, it is imperative the Raptor remains on the technological leading edge. Lockheed Martin is dedicated to working with the U.S. Air Force on a robust combat enhancement program for the F-22, developing and delivering additional capabilities to preserve and enhance the Raptors lethality and combat effectiveness particularly with the need to secure high ground for friendly aircraft and operate in a denied-access battlespace.
