The integration of missiles on to conventional aircraft is an established area, while reconciling the need for the shapes of an aircraft to minimise their observability with the need to accommodate missiles within the airframe is a more novel challenge. The integration of directed energy weapons, including lasers, within an aircraft is a new challenge with obvious implications for fire control and for the engines that must serve as both power generation and",
