Performance
Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.
| Cruise speed Sustained economical speed. Determines transit time to station. | 70 km/h |
|---|---|
| Range Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence. | 100 km |
| Service ceiling Maximum operating altitude. Higher gives energy advantage and sensor horizon. | 1,500 m |
| Endurance Time on station. Critical for UAVs and patrol platforms, higher means longer persistent coverage. | 2.5 h |
Physical
Dimensions, weight and crew.
| Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable. | 1.13 m |
|---|---|
| Wingspan Wingtip-to-wingtip span. | 1.98 m |
| Height Overall height. Lower profile is harder to spot and hit for ground vehicles. | 0.35 m |
| Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor. | 6 kg |
| Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity. | 0 |
