The system includes both guided munitions (GM) in transport and launch containers (TLC) and a UAV-based reconnaissance-repeater (UAV-R) in TLC.

The guided munition delivers a multi-factor warhead by a carrier to the target for its destruction. The UAV-R performs observation and reconnaissance of the area, as well as retransmits information from the GM to the ground control station and back.
