Nema ništa od F-22, jer koristi stare čipove i trebalo bi puno para uložiti za razvoj novih sistema. Pare idu u F-35. Razmišlja se o razvoju novog teškog lovca/višenamenskog aviona, a koji bi trebao da poleti između 2030 i 35. No, dosta je rano za tu priču.
Jos jedna...

Citat:Lockheed Martin has been awarded a USD33.4 million contract to modify its F-22 Raptor combat aircraft to carry the Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missile (AAM)
Citat:One of the main reasons for this delay is that the AIM-9X Block I currently lacks the ability to lock on before launch when carried internally, as it would be on the F-22, though this capability is planned for the datalinked Block II missile.
Another reason is that the full 'high off-boresight' capabilities of the missile will not be fully realised until the F-22 is equipped with the JHMCS, which is planned to take place in 2017 under the Increment 3.2 upgrade (which also includes AIM-9X, AIM-120D Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, and multiple Small Diameter Bomb carriage), though the JHMCS may now be deferred until Increment 3.3 (even without the helmet-mounted cueing system though, the AIM-9X still represents a quantum leap in capability over previous generation AIM-9 missiles).

Keen Sword is a regularly scheduled exercise which strengthens Japan-U.S. military interoperability and meets mutual defense objectives. Japan-U.S. military operations and exercises increase readiness to respond to varied crisis situations in the region. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Maeson L. Elleman/Released)
