| | | A fighter
aircraft in a combat scenario is essentially a weapons platform. LCA has the capability to carry over 4 tons of external stores including missiles, rockets, bombs and drop tank in 7 stations for air-to-air, air-to-ground and air-to-sea roles. High maneuverability and carefree handling features of the LCA are duly supplemented by a glass cockpit, digital avionics and effective weapon system interface. Good Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI) for easy interpretation of targets, a suite of sensors for early threat detection including high performance Pulse Doppler Multi Mode Radar(MMR) provide Beyond Visual Range(*BVR) attack capability amongst other special features of LCA as a Weapon system.An advanced Stores Management System(SMS) is configured for integration, carriage and release of a variety of weapons. All components and
features of the SMS architecture are test on a special weapon integration rig. |
