The dimensions are 3.2m × 1.4m and the maximum take-off weight is 120kg. Top speed is 230m/s and the drone can fly 25 meters above ground and 5 meters above water. It an operate at high altitude terrain by taking off from altitudes up to 15,000 ft. Endurance is 1 hours with a radius of 100km.

The nose of the aircraft can be installed with a Luneburg lens to increase its radar signature. It is said that the radar signature is no larger than 0.005m³.

It can do a 5G 90 degrees bank and sustain turn rate of 3G. It can dive at 40 degress and make 180 degree change of heading. This allows it to simulate fighter aircraft, cruise missile or anti-ship missile.
