Full specifications

Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Performance specifications
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.	130 km/h Stronger than 20% of UAVs
Cruise speed Sustained economical speed. Determines transit time to station.	75 km/h Stronger than 19% of UAVs
Range Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.	300 km Stronger than 55% of UAVs
Service ceiling Maximum operating altitude. Higher gives energy advantage and sensor horizon.	3,000 m Stronger than 11% of UAVs
Endurance Time on station. Critical for UAVs and patrol platforms, higher means longer persistent coverage. On a ground robot, published continuous run time on a full charge or fuel tank.	4 h Stronger than 41% of UAVs

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Physical specifications
Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.	1.65 m
Wingspan Wingtip-to-wingtip span.	3.4 m
Height Overall height. Lower profile is harder to spot and hit for ground vehicles.	0.3 m
Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.	13 kg

Propulsion

Engine, power and fuel.

Propulsion specifications
Propulsion type Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…	Electric motor
