It offers an endurance of 45 hours and a top speed of 150 knots.
It can reach altitudes up to 35,000 ft and has an operating range of more than 1,000 km.
It can carry long-range radars and observation sensors, such as electro-optical/infra-red (EO/IR) systems for detection and tracking of targets.
The Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) and Communications Intelligence (COMINT) systems will be installed on board to detect, analyse, geolocate, and gather electronic and communication radio signals for actionable intelligence at long-range stand-off distances.
