Other features: The missile is powered by a single small-scale Anduril turbojet engine delivering a thrust of approximately 670 N (150 pounds). Its design focuses on hyper-scale mass production, featuring 50% fewer parts and requiring 95% less specialized tooling compared to traditional cruise missiles, which makes it suitable for rapid assembly. Regarding deployment platforms, it can be launched from traditional military aircraft such as F-16, F-15E, and F/A-18 fighters, or via palletized mass-drop systems like Rapid Dragon from military transport aircraft such as the C-17 or C-130.
