A close-up view of the Common Integrated Processor which was developed for the F-22 jet fighter and is the equivalent of two Cray supercomputers 960614-F-DJ923-001

Hughes Aircraft Company employee, Steve DeLeon, looks into the world's most advanced, high-speed, computer system for use on board a fighter aircraft. Hughes delivered the F-22 Air Superiority Fighter's first Common Integrated Processor (CIP) last month. The CIP will act as the aircraft's computer "brain", hosting and executing software for the avionics systems

US Air Force (USAF) Major (MAJ) Stuart Ramsey, reservist with the 55th Fighter Squadron (FS), poses for a picture after piloting an F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft from Hill Air Force Base (AFB). A new system called the Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP) was installed on the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft upgrading the aircraft to the 21st century-level

High oblique aerial view, looking south of Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. This joint use civil and military airfield is the US Air Force Electronic Systems Center under the Air Force Material Command. The facility is responsible to provide research, development, training and evaluation (RDT&E) of command, control communication, computer intelligence (CCCCI) interface with industry

The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The result of the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program, the aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but also with ground attack, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence capabilities. The prime contractor, Lockheed Martin, built most of the F-22's airframe and weapons systems and conducted final assembly, while Boeing provided the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and training systems. USAF officials consider the F-22 a critical component of the service's tactical air power. Its combination of stealth, aerodynamic performance, and situational awareness enable unprecedented air combat capabilities and originally planned to buy a total of 750 aircrafts, but in 2009, the program was cut to 187 operational production aircraft due to high costs, a lack of clear air-to-air missions due to delays in Russian and Chinese fighter programs, a ban on exports, and development of the more versatile F-35. The last F-22 was delivered in 2012.
