Two F-22 Raptors successfully sent and received data while linked to ground stations in the US Air Force’s Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment 2008, or JEFX 08, conducted in April at Nellis AFB, Nevada. During this two-week experiment, two specially configured F-22s were used to transmit real-time sensor information to ground stations at Nellis and at Langley AFB, Virginia, using an experimental version of the Tactical Targeting Network Technology waveform. The F-22 datalink test configuration flew in realistic scenarios that highlighted the Raptor’s significant nontraditional intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. JEFX is an Air Force Chief of Staff air and ground forces, simulation, and technology insertions into a warfighting environment.
