[MilCom] F-22 Raptors type radios?

[BRUCE STEWART]

Hi All,
The F-22 does not have a radio in the traditional
sense.  Per sources it is: An F-22 doesn’t have a
"radio" in the traditional sense. It has a Common
Integrated Processor module – basically a software
program – that performs the function of a radio. If
that module fails, one of the other modules will
automatically reload the software and take over the
radio function – thus making it fault tolerant.
Multiply that ability to self-correct through every
function on the aircraft, and the picture of the
F-22’s infallibility broadens.

So, it is basically a software defined unit.  Since
there are 2 of them here for a few days, I am hoping
to catch some comms.
