With its promise and performance confirmed, ABMS moves to a new phase A communications pod installed in a KC-46 Pegasuswill allow the F-35 Lightning II and F-22 Raptor to connect and instantly receive and transmit the most up-to-date information to ensure the warfighters maintain decision superiority. This concept is known as Capability Release #1 under the Advanced Battle Management System framework. The ABMS is the Department of the Air Force’s contribution to Joint All Domain Command and Control, or CJADC2, a DoD effort to digitally connect all elements of the U.S. military – from sensors to shooters – across all five warfighting domains: air, land, sea, space and cyberspace.

Joshua Shook, 63rd Fighter Squadron F-35A Lightning II pilot, performs a pre-flight inspection July 22, 2020, at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. The 63rd FS implemented the Beast Mode weapons configuration on their F-35s during training sorties to better prepare B-Course student pilots with experience needed for combat. The implementation of the maximum strike weapons configuration is one of many ways the 56th Fighter Wing is training the world’s greatest fighter pilots and combat ready Airmen.
