MILTECH - The Rapid Raptor program states that the F-22 stealth fighter will retain the ability to deploy anywhere in the world within 24 hours.
With the rapid rollout of the United States Air Force's sixth-generation fighter jet continuing to spark international interest and the expansion of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter customers worldwide, it's easy to overlook the air and air force fighter. the best in the world. : the F-22 Raptor. But that would be a mistake.
In fact, even with the sixth-generation stealth fighter already in the air and a large number of F-35 stealth fighters appearing in the eastern part of NATO, the Department of Defense is sending twelve F-22 Raptors from and War to Support NATO's Allies. Air Command at the 32nd Tactical Air Base in Lask, Poland, according to Air Force News.
Air policing will be the F-22's primary mission, the service report said, adding that the aircraft will fly to Europe from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska. The F-22 has established its strength in recent years, largely due to the Air Force's Rapid Raptor program. The Rapid Raptor program, which focuses on speed, sustainment, readiness and engagement, explains that the F-22 stealth fighter will maintain the ability to move anywhere in the world within hours twenty four. The program supports four F-22s and a crew of C-17 Globemaster III aircraft that can provide support, refueling and munitions for specific missions that enable "first strike" capabilities. and remote or difficult locations around the world. The F-22's readiness, Air Force officials explain, is based on a new software delivery strategy that considers incremental upgrades as small as "goods" for planned, replacements and more for ongoing "disruptions." and always.
This new approach, which is based on a long-term strategic plan, has been used by the F-22 for many years. Several years ago, the Air Force and Lockheed Martin released an upgrade to the F-22 called the 3.2B that added new software to many of its weapons systems. The idea, as the Air Force's chief weapons designer explains, is to allow continuous progress, continuous progress and -go ahead and avoid waiting for "fast" or "incremental" software that can take years to develop. “When it comes to software, no old rules apply. It's a project in the pipeline today. We need to create different software. With the F-22, there is a transition from a traditional procurement program to continuous delivery," William Roper, former assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, technology and weapons, told the audience. several years ago in the Joint Air Force Symposium. As part of an "agile acquisition" program that promotes software, the Air Force has prepared two new weapons for the F-22. The technology concept is based on principles and hardware design, air flow, weapon mounts and sensors that can be changed through software upgrades. The two new weapons are advanced missile types, the AIM-9X air-to-air missile and the advanced AIM-120-D air-to-air missile.
This rapid software strategy seeks to enhance programs such as the Rapid Raptor program to ensure the deployed F-22 is operating at its most lethal level.
