This is also the first 5th generation fighter aircraft to have this system, which replaces the legacy Advance Range Data System (ARDS).
A successful test flight was carried out on Aug. 5 and the event marked the first flight of the CRIIS at the Edwards Flight Test Range as well.
CRIIS is currently in the final stages of achieving IOC at Edwards, Eglin AFB, Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) Aircraft Division Patuxent River, Nellis Test and Training Range, NAWC Weapons Division (WD) China Lake, NAWCWD Point Mugu, and White Sands Test Center.
