The U.S. Air Force is flight-testing an F-22 Raptor fitted with stealthy sensor pods near Edwards Air Force Base in California, flying the jet aggressively to evaluate the equipment. Reports suggest the tests are expanding work on passive-sensing technology, which lets fighters detect threats without emitting radar signals that reveal their position, a key capability for future air combat.
Why now: Interest in next-generation stealth and passive-sensing capabilities amid rising great-power air competition
