According to Air Force and Defense Intelligence Agency estimates many countries have advanced anti-aircraft capabilities. Equipped with more sophisticated radars and the ability to track and attack multiple targets, surface-to-air missiles and cruise missiles, even in small numbers, can challenge our control of the skies in combat.
To counter these threats, stealth is designed into the next generation aircraft — the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II. And Lockheed Martin has designed the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) to be stealthy. Stealth was also an important element of the U-2 and SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft and it is a critical element in the ability of the Seawolf submarine to remain undetected deep under the sea.
The bottom line is that Lockheed Martin is a world leader in stealth, from the depths of the oceans to the skies above.
