Every Flight Hour is an Investment for the Future
With 500,000 flight hours, we look ahead to the continued evolution of not only the F-22 but air combat in its entirety. The ongoing modernization efforts and strategic upgrades being made to the F-22 today will further enhance its capabilities, while also enabling the next generation of air dominance. Here's to the next chapter of unrivaled air superiority, as the F-22 Raptor continues flying for the future, paving the path with each and every hour.

Mission-Ready Sustainment
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.
Sustainment work for the F-22 includes:
- Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Program (RAMP):?In the RAMP, our team inspects data from the field of operations and engineering solutions to increase aircraft availability for combat.
- Modernization Line:?The Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill Air Force Base houses the only current F-22 Modernization Line, integrating the latest system capabilities to enhance the Raptor’s asymmetric advantage over adversaries.?
- Stealth Coating Repair:?About 50% of maintenance performed on the F-22 is related to repairing the low observable stealth coatings that are damaged when the aircraft is opened up for routine maintenance.
- 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.
- Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS):?IMIS enables maintainers to plug their laptop into the jet, log completed maintenance, and plug their computer back into the system to update a global database instantaneously, ensuring proper and complete maintenance records are kept no matter where the F-22 is deployed to on the globe.
