With the broadening of the concept of the weapons system, air combat missions of the 1990's will include, in the course of a single mission, phases of flight during which air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities will be alternately or even simultaneously put to the test. The notion of polyvalence is introduced and the importance of the concept to aircraft design and particularly aircraft weapon systems definition is discussed. The primary benefit of polyvalence is that it greatly extends the ability of combat aircraft to adapt to an evolving operational environment.
