In F-22 MLUs, 1 of the stealthy sensor pod looks EO & other like EW.
So the fuselage acts as a blindspot, can't look the other side.
Then how will F-22 have spherical coverage?
Will 1 group of few data-linked F-22s do the IRST for other clean config F-22s?
Below i'm assuming that the IRST sensor can look up/down +/- 45 degrees & 180 degrees in azimuth.
RED zone is blindspot.
YELLOW zone is scanned zone.
If few data-linked F-22s do the IRST for other clean config F-22s, then the flight group would look like this-
