F-22 Raptor لاتستطيع اطلاق AIM-9X

Nor is Increment 3.1 the last planned Raptor upgrade. The F-22 isn’t scheduled to get a multi-function data-link (allowing it to swap information with ground stations, ships and other planes) until around 2014. F-15s and F-16s have had these data-links for years. Similarly, the F-22 still can’t fire the latest AIM-9X air-to-air missile, which is standard on older fighters. Though the F-22 possesses higher speed and better stealth than F-15s and F-16s, in other aspects it could be years before the Raptor can match the jets it’s supposed to replace.

Dave Majumdar's aerospace blog on examiner.com illuminates some stunning omissions in the US Air Force's upgrade plans for the Lockheed Martin F-22 fleet. My list of highlights from Dave's recent interview with the F-22 SPO:
1. The first 34 F-22s can not be upgraded with the Increment 3.1 air-to-ground and electronic attack and Increment 3.2 advanced air-to-air and networking upgrades.
2. The next batch of 63 F-22s will be upgraded to carry eight small diameter bombs, but they can only attack two targets at a time. These aircraft will never be able to fire high off bore sight missiles, which are swiftly becoming the standard for aerial combat.
3. The final batch of 91 aircraft are programmed to receive both the air-to-ground and advanced air-to-air hardware, but these do not include helmet-mounted cuing, also standard kit for latest-generation dogfighters.

In an air-to-air role, the JHMCS, combined with the AIM-9X missile, form the High-Off-BoreSight (HOBS) system. HOBS is an airborne weapon-interception system that enables pilots to accurately direct, or "cue," onboard weapons against enemy aircraft merely by pointing their heads at the targets to guide the weapons
