Full specifications
Performance
Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.
- Max speed
Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance.
- 83 km/h Bottom 6% of UAVs
- Range
Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.
- 25 km Stronger than 15% of UAVs
- Service ceiling
Maximum operating altitude. Higher gives energy advantage and sensor horizon.
- 4,500 m Stronger than 18% of UAVs
- Endurance
Time on station. Critical for UAVs and patrol platforms — higher means longer persistent coverage.
- 0.7 h Stronger than 13% of UAVs
Physical
Dimensions, weight and crew.
- Empty weight
Weight without fuel, ammunition or crew.
- 2 kg
- Crew
Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.
- 0
Propulsion
Engine, power and fuel.
- Propulsion type
Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…
- Electric, quadrotor
Sensors & avionics
Radar, sensor suite and datalinks.
- Sensors
IRST, EO/IR turrets, laser designators, sniper pods, thermal sights.
- Fusion 4T tri-sensor gimbal (visual, thermal, zoom)
- Datalink
Network connectivity: Link 16, MADL, national datalinks. Enables cooperative engagement.
- FCC: 15 km / SRRC-CE: 8 km transmission link
