Light combat aircraft

An LCA will typically be equipped with bombs, gun pods, or short-range air-to-air missiles used for COIN or CAS missions.

Some aircraft integrate more advanced armaments such as smart bombs, air to ground missiles, ECM pods (Electronic Countermeasure), and electronic targeting systems.

Some LCAs are capable of air-to-air combat or point air defense missions if equipped with multi-mode radar systems.

Still, the majority cannot perform these missions due to their small design and limited capabilities.
