F-22s upgraded for great power war

Newly integrated Air Force F-22 Raptor weapons are now operationally upgraded, after years of preparation, to bring expanded air-to-air and air-to-ground attack technology to the fifth-generation fighter. The software upgrade program is intended to prepare the Raptor for a great-power war. The upgrade is called Increment 3.2B, and includes AIM-120D and AIM-9X air-to-air missiles and brings improved surface strike technology. The software upgrades are now ready for war. The “Air Combat Command authorized the release and fielding of the F-22 Update 6 Operational Flight Program for incorporation into Increment 3.2B,” a statement from F-22 manufacturer Lockheed Martin read. In preparation, AF weapons developers have been testing the 3.2 upgrades with specific “fire-off” exercises at Eglin, Nellis, Hill, and Tyndall Air Force bases’ test ranges.
