Armed external wings on either side of the displayed aircraft feature a total of four weapons stations, with launchers for a mix of air-to-ground missiles, a 19-shot Hydra-70 rocket pod, and an FN HERSTAL Belgium manufactured rocket machine gun pod.

For laser designating of a future weapons system as well as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, the aircraft's cockpit chin features Lockheed Martin's INFIRNO sensor system.
