  • Transport, operation and maintenance by two personnel
  • Autonomous return-to-home and landing in case of link loss
  • Target detection and tracking
  • Redundant telemetry system

Target approach and engagement options

  • RF-based target approach

    Passive radio-frequency signal detection and directional targeting against RF-emitting targets.

  • Electro-optical target engagement

    AI-assisted visual target detection, lock-on and precision approach using EO sensors.

  • GPS coordinate-based engagement

    Precision engagement based on predefined GNSS target coordinates.

  • Hybrid RF and visual targeting

    Multi-sensor fusion: RF-based target acquisition followed by a visual precision approach.

  • Operator-assisted target approach

    Manual terminal control over a secure datalink for dynamic engagement scenarios.
