After potential stealthy SAM hunter, AMCA has potential to engage naval & other surface targets also from stand-off distance.
If we compare some present weapons like AGM-158A JASSM, JSM/NSM, Storm-Shadow/SCALP-EG, Taurus KEPD-350, SOM-J, etc then they're still bigger than IWB, but they can be scaled down.
Below is example of JASSM & JSM with their original dimension compared to 4.2m long IWB:
But their adjusted size variants are being integrated in F-35. Similar weapons can be developed for AMCA too.
