Functional capabilities
The UAV has several configuration options that change its tactical and technical characteristics depending on the components. The universal platform can have multiple equipment options. Depending on mission types and complexities, it can be used as:
Scout
During a mission, the UAV conducts photo/video documentation of events and transmits the data to the operator.
Stealth Scout
During a mission, the UAV conducts photo/video documentation of events internally, without transmission.
Forward Observe
It can perform video surveillance and provide guidance for mortar calculations, artillery, etc.
Relay station
It can serve as a MESH network node.
Component of the EW system
It can detect and identify various electronic devices (radios, radars, electronic warfare stations, etc.).
Carrier
It can perform cargo delivery with payload activation.
Simulator
It can be used as a flying target, decoy, or disinformation platform.
Searcher
It can conduct photo/video surveillance of events with maximum image quality and control over the field of view.

The UAV is built on a modular principle, allowing for configuration of the aircraft based on specific tasks. It consists of modular components that have universal standardized mounting elements and interaction protocols (UAV-CAN), enabling quick and hassle-free replacement of different purpose-specific modules without the need for extensive modifications.
The complex can be controlled by compatible third-party ground stations, in the form of UAVs for simulation or reconnaissance purposes. In such a configuration, a mobile phone or tablet with the appropriate software can serve as the ground module for route loading and data reading.
If necessary, the complex can be equipped with a handheld control unit, which also acts as a modem for receiving real-time metadata from the UAV during flight.
To conduct targeting and search operations, it is necessary to supplement the complex with a full-fledged terminal that includes control interfaces for the UAV's payload and a broadband communication system for receiving streaming data. Such a kit can have two types of communication: a secure and resilient one, resistant to radio reconnaissance and jamming, and a simpler one.
The UAV can be equipped with one or two batteries. It is supplied with universal batteries for both the UAV and the terminal.
Self-diagnostic systems and continuous monitoring of all processes on board the aircraft help to avoid many issues that users may encounter.
The specialized system for monitoring the condition and usage quality of the batteries allows for precise calculation of the aircraft's flight time and prevents mission failure.
The built-in subsystem for control of the load on the control surfaces allows for assessing the UAV's capability to perform a mission and can alert the operator about potential wing icing conditions.
The materials of the UAV and its components are specifically designed with maximum compatibility and interchangeability in mind during operation. The minimal number of components allows for the rapid assembly of the UAV from its constituent parts within minutes.
