F-22 Brochure - Lockheed Martin

The F-22 Raptor is a 5th generation stealth fighter jet that provides air dominance through its very low observability stealth, supercruise speeds without afterburners, extreme maneuverability, and ability to autonomously gather and fuse intelligence from 360 degrees. It is a critical asset for securing air superiority and enabling safe joint and coalition operations. Lockheed Martin is committed to sustaining the F-22 through robust combat enhancement programs to maintain its technological advantage over emerging threats and preserve its lethality.

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 Raptor’s lethality and survivability are Photos on this page by katsuhiko tokunaga

sharply enhanced by its ability to operate for extended periods


at speeds greater than Mach 1.5 . . . without afterburners. conduct surveillance to identify and sort threats and
then easily carry out the attack.
Extreme Fighter Agility. The F-22 brings an additional
asymmetric advantage due to its superior aerodynamic Joint Force Enabler. The F-22 provides transformational
performance and ability to outmaneuver opposing forces capabilities that are essential to countering air-to-air threats
through acceleration and razor-sharp turns. and defeating integrated air defenses today and for the
next 30 years. This, in turn, ensures safe and effective
Information Fusion. With 360-degree battlespace awareness, joint and coalition forces operations – starting on
F-22 pilots can autonomously gather and fuze intelligence, Day One of a conflict.
America’s 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 Operational testing is conducted at Edwards AFB, Calif., with
Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Raptor pilots train at Tyndall AFB, Fla., tactics development at Nellis AFB, Nev. The USAF Weapons
and maintainers are trained at Sheppard AFB, Texas. School at Nellis also flies F-22s.
Staying Ahead of
Emerging Threats
The F-22 Raptor is the world’s 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 low-
observable 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 Raptor’s lethality and combat
effectiveness – particularly with the need to secure
high ground for friendly aircraft and operate in a
denied-access battlespace.

Combining Lockheed Martin’s experience as the original
equipment manufacturer with the talent in the U.S. Air Force management, modifications and heavy maintenance, technical
has proven to be a winning combination. FASTeR is a order distribution, sustaining engineering, training and
performance-based logistics contract and comprehensive direct field support to the warfighter. Recent successes during
weapons management program that provides the U.S. Air Force deployments and force-on-force exercises highlighted the
with a highly integrated support system including supply chain ease of F-22 maintainability.
