Survivability Enhancement and
Self-Protection Equipment

The L-159B is derived from single-seat multi-role light combat L-159A which was designed to provide high level of survivability in combat environment. Design features such as redundant and standby systems provide tolerance to battle damage as well as increased level of flight safety required for training. The L-159B can be equipped with optional self-protection system and its small size, low-infrared signature and optimized camouflage paint reduce probability of its detection.
