Lockheed Martin to Modernize Air Force F-22 Raptor with Advanced Infrared Threat-Detection Sensors

Lockheed Martin has received a $270 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to integrate a system of next-generation infrared defensive sensors on the F-22 Raptor.
The F-22 will soon feature a newly developed, distributed set of embedded TacIRST sensors developed by Lockheed Martin to enhance aircraft survivability and lethality, known as the Infrared Defensive System (IRDS). In addition to managing integration of IRDS on the F-22, the company will also support integration on other platforms.

The U.S. Air Force’s F-22 Raptor stealth fighters are set to get an array of new “viability” upgrades to help protect them from emerging threats and otherwise ensure their continued relevance in future conflicts.

The package includes the previously announced Infrared Defensive System (IRDS), as well as enhancements to the jet’s stealthy features, radar capabilities, electronic warfare suite, and more. This is separate from other upgrades in the works for the F-22, including podded infrared search and track (IRST) sensors and stealthy range-extending drop tanks.

Details about the F-22 viability upgrades are found in the Air Force’s recently released budget request for the Fiscal Year 2026.
The Air Force currently has 185 F-22s, but only 143 are combat-coded, with the rest being dedicated to training and test and evaluation activities.
