It is also equipped with the latest generation of autopilot with GPS navigation system.

It can be used by 1 or 2 operators[2] for surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, target acquisition ISTAR, close air support JTAC i.e. missions for special operations, convoy tracking, target detection, search and rescue, first aid missions, civil defense, wildfire containment and mitigation,[3] infrastructure control and security missions.
