Hilo sobre las posibles actualizaciones para la flota de F-22 Raptor:

By end of FY21, the F-22A program would have invested more than $250 Million (over the last 3 yrs) on maturation, demonstration and prototyping of classified advanced technologies. F-22A appears to have supported at least 1 major classified tech/capability demonstration in FY20.

The program is also investing heavily in sensor modernization. Leveraging rapid prototyping, and existing production lines, the program plans to develop, demonstrate and field enhancements rapidly. $450+ Million would have been spent to support these efforts b/w FY19-21.

The program has also invested in developing Link-16 Transmit capability for the Raptor. Current efforts are focused on flight testing the Talon SPITBALL Link 16 antenna. F-22's will begin receiving this capability this year, with the entire fleet upgraded by 2024.

F-22A upgrades often fly under the radar relative to F35 FOM and NGAD. Development and fielding of classified/non-class. tech on the F-22A fleet is critical to future air superiority. It is a unique and finite resource and needs all the qualitative advantage we can provide.

It is also one of the early platforms slated to get the AIM-260 so logically, some efforts would be focused on integrating the weapon and upgrading systems/sub-systems to maximize the capability.

Between EPAWSS and Blk 4 AN/ASQ-239 upgrades, there are some pretty high production rate components available for an ALR-94 modernization. And then there is radar modernization as well which they've spoken of in the past.
