With the Global Positioning System-guided JDAM, the F-22 will have anĪdverse weather capability to supplement the F-117 (and later the Joint Strike Fighter)įor air-to-ground missions after achieving air dominance. Two 1,000 pound-class Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM), two AIM-120C, and two AIM-9 For its air-to-ground role, the F-22 can internally carry
Performance and high fuel efficiency at slower speeds as well.įor its primary air-to-air role, the F-22 will carry sixĪIM-120C and two AIM-9 missiles. Sound for an extended period of time without the high fuelĬonsumption characteristic of aircraft that use afterburners toĪchieve supersonic speeds.
The first to provide the ability to fly faster than the speed of Supercruise: Enhances weapons effectiveness allows rapid transit through theīattlespace reduces the enemys time to counter attack Integrated Avionics: Allows F-22 pilots unprecedented awareness of enemyįorces through the fusion of on- and off-board information Stealth: Greatly increases survivability and lethality by denying the enemyĬritical information required to successfully attack the F-22 The F-22 isĬharacterized by a low-observable, highly maneuverable airframe advanced integratedĪvionics and aerodynamic performance allowing supersonic cruise without afterburner. It is designed to penetrate enemy airspaceĪnd achieve a first-look, first-kill capability against multiple targets. The F-22 program is developing the next-generation air superiority fighter for the Airįorce to counter emerging worldwide threats.
