19. The F-22 Includes AN/APG-77 Radar For Stealth Capabilities
The AN/APG-77 radar is a critical component of the F-22 Raptor’s stealth capabilities. The radar was created for strike operations & air-superiority. It includes mechanisms such as all-weather capability, an active aperture, and an Active Electronically Scanned Array radar (AESA) of 2,000 transmitter/receiver modules. The AESA performs “agile frequency,” which makes it challenging for opponents to detect the aircraft. The AESA also has a low radar cross-section and target detection. The AN/APG-77 will give the pilot comprehensive information before the F-22 is ever detected. Over a secure link, the radar also communicates voice and data information as well as jam adversary’s electronic systems.
