What does it mean when it says side arrays?

Can't see your picture but the side arrays are two, smaller, arrays of T/R modules mounted one on each side of the forward fuselage working in conjunction with the main array to provide a wider field of view. They were never mounted but the space is still there if they wanted to.

AESA arrays behind nose, ahead of intakes, looking sideways.

Oh. I didn't know the F-22 had them?

Hope picture works now.
