The fifth-generation era lasts from 1990 until 2010. It is defined by advanced avionics systems providing high situational awareness for the pilot and stealth capabilities. The Lockheed Martin F-117 Nighthawk could be included in this generation, even though it was flying in the 1980s. According to GlobalSecurity.org, the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II were the first fifth-generation fighters. The Raptor is America's first fifth-generation fighter and is an air dominance, multi-role asset. The USAF Operational Test and Evaluation Center completed trials in 2004 and the aircraft went into full production in 2005. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is in full production and has entered service with the US Marine Corps, the US Navy, the USAF and a number of foreign air forces. This multirole aircraft is designed to replace the Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon, Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, Boeing F/A-18 Hornet, McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harriers, Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.7 and BAE Systems Sea Harrier.
