Mission Ready. Digitally Dominant.
At Lockheed Martin, we’re advancing the F-22’s connectivity and digital capabilities to support the
Air Force’s Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) vision.
With open systems architecture and unmatched combat performance, the F-22 is shaping the future of integrated air power.
Setting the Standard for Air Superiority
Lockheed Martin is committed to providing higher readiness rates, faster response and lower life-cycle cost to our U.S. Air Force customer. Through Follow-on Agile Sustainment, a comprehensive weapons management program and an award-winning performance-based logistics (PBL) contract, we provide a highly integrated F-22 support system.
The key to F-22 sustainment is integration. Our strategic partnership with the U.S. Air Force helps to merge highly complex sustainment activities into one unified operation. This integration allows for greater efficiency, lower cost and enhanced responsiveness to the needs of the operators and maintainers in the field.
By leveraging best practices and shared investments across fifth generation platforms —including the F-22 and F-35— we maximize sustainment and deliver lasting value to the U.S. Air Force.
Follow-On Agile Sustainment for The Raptor III (FASTeR III)
FASTeR III is the future of F-22 Sustainment. This 10-year contract spanning from 2028-2037 maintains Lockheed Martin as the F-22 fleet Product Support Integrator providing spares, repairs, depot partnering and overall sustainment integration to maximize worldwide Raptor readiness and keep F-22 dominant.
Modernization Line
Executed across multiple locations with dedicated U.S. Air Force and industry to industry contractor field teams, the F-22 modernization programs are delivering cutting edge capabilities to the Raptor, integrating the latest technology to enhance the F-22’s asymmetric advantage over adversaries.
The F-22 modernization program ensures the Raptor remains Ready for the most critical missions, with advancements that enable it to see farther, go farther and shoot farther, bolstering its position as a premier fifth-generation fighter jet.
With the Raptor becoming the first fifth-generation platform to integrate an open systems architecture, Lockheed Martin is at the forefront of advancing the U.S. Air Force's vision for a more agile and adaptable fleet. Through our open marketplace development activities, we're enabling the integration of third-party applications.
Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Program (RAMP)
In RAMP, our team inspects analyzes data from field operations and develop engineering solutions increase aircraft availability for combat.
Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS)
IMIS is a system of systems which integrates data management, configuration management, systems diagnostic, interactive Technical Order Data and maintenance forms elements into a deployable logistical sustainment support system for the F-22 aircraft.
Supply Management
The industry team manages over 35,000 parts on the F-22 to ensure that when a part is needed it is there, allowing the F-22 to be dominate and ready.
Engine Maintenance
The Pratt & Whitney F119 engines are designed to allow standard flight line maintenance using just six common tools available at commercial hardware stores.
Stealth Coating Repair
A significant portion of maintenance performed on the F-22 is related to preserving its low observable (LO) capabilities. This work includes tasks such as reversion, inlet coating repair and other specialized processes like the Marietta Speedline, which are often required when the aircraft is opened up for routine maintenance, to ensure the integrity of its stealth coatings.
Every Flight Hour Is An Investment For The Future
For over 30 years, the F-22 Raptor has dominated the skies, surpassing 500,000 flight hours. Today, an extensive modernization program delivers new capabilities, ensuring the Raptor builds on its legacy and is prepared for the future.
Exclusively flown by the U.S. Air Force, the F-22 packs next-gen technology and digital upgrades to dominate the most contested airspaces – maintaining first look, first shot, first kill capabilities.
