USAF shows ability for rapid F-22, F-35 software updates
The USAF has demonstrated the ability to rapidly update and deploy software for the F-22 and F-35, offering greatly improved flexibility for rapidly evolving tactical situations.
The work saw an F-35A take flight with software applications that had been previously tested on the F-22 – the first time the same tactical software has been used on both types, according to the USAF’s 412th Test Wing.
Following the flight, the software applications were updated by developers at Utah’s Hill AFB and flown at California’s Edwards AFB less than 24h later.
The flight was part of a project involving test pilots and defence software developers. According to the USAF, it shows the ability to use the same software across different aircraft, the ability to source software from more suppliers, and the ability to update software “30-60 times” faster than previously and at a much lower cost.
Traditionally, combat aircraft relied solely on a prime contract for software updates and integration, often resulting in extended timelines and high costs.
“The ability to use common software across the F-35 and F-22 is going to dramatically change how we bring capabilities to the front line,” says project co-founder and F-35 test pilot. “Now, instead of having to define, purchase, test and field a software capability on each aircraft individually, we can gain a lot of efficiencies by developing a capability once and fielding it on all [fifth-generation] fighters, saving hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more, in development costs and saving years in development time.”
The ability to rapidly update aircraft tactical software is especially useful for combat situations when new threats are identified. The work also emphasises reducing the vulnerability of stealth aircraft to cyberattacks.
In recent years the US military has placed an emphasis on better ways to update aircraft software, making updates more akin to updating an app on a personal device, as opposed to waiting months or years for big updates.

“We need to be able to rapidly adapt and update our weapon systems based on emerging intel or changing conditions while executing distributed operations. We demonstrated just that with this test. We flew a set of applications at Edwards, updated the simulated threat dataset in the software from the development location at Hill AFB, and re-flew the software in less than 24 hours.”
The concept is being further developed under the USAF’s Innovation Portfolio.

$950,000,000 to compete for future efforts associated with the maturation, demonstration, and proliferation of capability across platforms and domains, leveraging open systems design, modern software and algorithm development to enable Joint All Domain Command and Control. These contracts provide for the development and operation of systems as a unified force across all domains (air, land, space, sea, cyber, and electromagnetic spectrum) in an open architecture family of systems that enables capabilities via multiple integrated platforms. The locations of performance are to be determined at the contract directed order level and are expected to be complete by May 28, 2025. These awards are the result of fair and open competition. Air Force Life Cycle Management, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is the contracting activity.

The thunderstorm battered the T-6s with winds over 70 mph, blowing off their protective covers and prompting concerns about debris in the engines and other structural problems, the Air Force said.
At least 12 T-6s require intensive repairs before they can return to flight, base spokesperson Terri Schaefer said. Local leaders have opted to check the entire fleet of 99 Texan IIs for structural and mechanical damage as a safety precaution.
