Autopilots on modern fighters

Curious about the capabilities of autopilots on modern fighters, I would imagine in the past they have been fairly basic but what about Typhoon / Rafale / F22 etc ?


Can they, for example fly an entire route with different waypoints, level off at a preselected altitude, fly a 'Vnav' descent to a predetermined fix, or an ILS approach, even an autoland ?


I believe the F18 can fly an automatic approach to a carrier ?


Any fighters with autothrottle(s) ?
