The aircraft has a cropped delta-wing shape, with a central fuselage blending into the wings and stabilizing rudders at the tips. The nose section contains the warhead estimated to weigh 30–50 kilograms, a loitering capability is limited by radio signal range of about 150 kilometres (93 miles) in receiving the new GPS target position
The aircraft is launched nearly horizontally at a slight upward angle and is assisted in the initial phase of flight by rocket launch assistance (RATO). The rocket is jettisoned immediately after launch, Because of the portability of the launch frame and drone assembly, the entire unit can be mounted on the back of any military or commercial truck, enabling mobile shoot-and-scoot operations that can thwart countermeasures.
