Aircraft

Airframe: Modular design, easily disassembled into major components for ease of transport, shipping, and service.
Fuselage: Gel-coated, molded from a combination of Kevlar and carbon fiber cloths and completed with the Kevlar ballast tube, which makes it is very rigid.
Wing: High-tech carbon fiber composite material D-type design.
Tail Unit: The V-tail is fully molded and finished in two parts. These parts are removable with quick release joints, and fully movable as Ruddervators.
Power Plant: The power plant includes a 300 W electric engine with a pusher propeller.
Power Supply: Lithium Polimar power storage battery. Long endurance, light weight.
Launch and Recovery System: Hand or bungee launched and recovered by landing in deep stall mode or by deploying a parachute.

MA AD-1 Target

The UAV target system is intended for air defense weapon training to evaluate and test the various close-in, short-range, and medium range air defense weapon systems.
This aerial target is capable of simulating (completely or partially) a variety of air-defense threats including “cruise missiles”, “anti-ship missiles”, unmanned aerial vehicles, “guided bombs”, and “attack aircraft”.
The target is a recoverable unmanned air vehicle equipped with power plant, automatic flight control system, recovery parachute and modular multi-version mission payloads.
