On December 9 the U.S. Air Force undertook inflight connectivity trials with the Lockheed Martin F-22A and F-35A fighters, each of which carried a GatewayOne payload. Thanks to this equipment, the two aircraft passed critical mission data between themselves and ground nodes.
Conducted by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLMC), with the 46th Test Squadron from Eglin AFB, the trials took place over the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. They involved an F-22 from the Edwards AFB-based 411th Flight Test Squadron and an F-35A from the Nellis AFB-based 59th Test and Evaluation Squadron.
