The F-22 and -35 are no longer dependent upon self-carried sensors
with a forward looking pie-shaped observation field. They now carry
the ability to share data with a wide range of platforms, even without
the need to employ their own suite of sensors. The data is then
integrated, prioritized and presented to the operator with full
4-pi-r-cubed spherical coverage.
And thanks to MADL using this doesn't carry a high risk of giving
yourself away.
The problem is that the F-22 needs to have something else watching its
six, while the F-35 has this built in in additional to MADL.
Remember that LPI radars are still emitting energy and this can be
(theoretically) traced.
