These loads include extensive Air-to-Surface weapon configurations systems as the MBDA Brimstone Air-to-Ground Precision Attack weapon as well as retaining full Air-to-Air capability. Its sophisticated sensor suite allows close co-ordination with ground commanders and the identification of individual targets. Its high manoeuvrability and sophisticated weaponry allow effective operations over the battlefield.
