The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a single seat, all-weather, single-engine, carrier -capable, multirole combat aircraft, designed for air superiority and strike missions but is also equipped for electronic warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (also known as ISR). It is primarily contracted by Lockheed Martin with BAE systems and Northrop Grumman as principal partners.

The fifth generation F-35’s ability to use VLO Stealth, huge weapons capacity, supersonic speed and extended range, sensor fusion, network enabled ops, and electron warfare makes this jet vital to the role we play in the United States military. The F-35 is the first stealth fighter capable of operating supersonic STOVL, that is why the United States Air Force considers the F-35 its primary strike fighter for SEAD missions (suppression of enemy air defense). The F-35 has Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) radar, Distributed Aperture System (DAS), Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS) and Helmet Mounted Display System making this jet the most advanced sensor suiting jet of all time. The F-35 is the perfect jet for carrying out missions like SEAD/DEAD, strategic attack, close air support, ISR, air superiority, and electronic warfare.

The stealth fighter's first flight was in 2006 before it entered service in 2015 with the United States Marine Corps (F-35), then the United States Air Force in 2016 (F-35B) and the United States Navy in 2019 (F-35C). The United States plans to buy more F-35s through 2044, and is expected to operate until 2070.
