The U.S. Air Force is flight-testing an F-22 Raptor fitted with stealthy sensor pods in aggressive sorties near Edwards Air Force Base in California. The testing appears focused on expanding the jet's passive-sensing equipment, which would let the stealth fighter detect threats without emitting radar signals that reveal its position.

Why now: Interest in upgrades that extend the F-22's sensing capabilities while preserving its stealth profile
