A Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) is a type of military aircraft designed for air-to-air and air-to-ground combat missions. These aircraft are typically smaller and lighter than traditional fighter jets, allowing for greater maneuverability and lower operational costs. LCAs are often used by air forces for training, close air support, and interception roles. One notable example of an LCA is the HAL Tejas, developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in India. The Tejas is designed to be versatile, featuring advanced avionics and weapon systems, making it suitable for various combat scenarios while maintaining a focus on agility and efficiency.
