The F-22 fighter jet was jointly developed by Lockheed Martin and Boeing, and entered service with the US Air Force in the early 21st century to replace the F-15 fighter jet. Lockheed Martin is the main contractor responsible for designing most of the fuselage, weapon systems, and final assembly of the F-22. The planned partner Boeing provides wings, aft fuselage, integrated avionics systems, and training systems. However, due to the high manufacturing cost of the F-22, delays in the planning of fifth generation fighter jets from Russia and China resulting in a lack of clear air-to-air combat missions, export bans on Raptors, and other usage plans (including F-35 and drones), the production plan for the F-22 was terminated prematurely. In April 2009, the US Department of Defense proposed to halt new orders and, with congressional approval, ultimately procured 187 fighter jets. The 2010 National Defense Authorization Act resulted in a lack of funding to produce more F-22s. The launch ceremony of the last F-22 was held on December 13, 2011 at the Dobbins Air Force Reserve Base.
