F-22 Raptor: America's Next Lethal War Machine




















F-22 Raptor: America's Next Lethal War Machine
McGraw-Hill | 2002 | ISBN 0-07-134271-0 | English | 145 pages | PDF | 4.5 MB

The F-22 is being developed to counter the increasing sophistication and threat of hostile air forces and integrated air defense systems in use around the world. This fighter will provide air dominance and a precision ground attack capability for U.S. forces for the next 40 years. Air and ground threats that the F-15 can no longer counter will be defeated by the lethal and survivable F-22, with its balance of increased speed and range, enhanced offensive and defensive avionics and low observability or stealth. The F-22’s design also emphasizes reliability and maintainability of systems.

The F-22 provides a first-look, first-shot, first-kill capability through the use of stealth, advanced sensors and a lethal mix of advanced air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons. The F-22 also requires shorter takeoff and landing distances as compared to current frontline fighters. F-22 pilots will be able to engage the enemy over its own territory and support long-range air-to-ground assets. The F-22 also brings its own precision ground attack capability to the battlefield.
