Features: · Cruciform wings: They are four small wings arranged like a cross on four sides and give the projective a stable aerodynamic posture.
· Thrust Vectoring: It is the ability to change the direction of the thrust from its engine, control the angular velocity and the attitude of the missile.
· Thrust is the force which moves an aircraft through the air.
· Canisterised system: The inside environment is controlled, thus making its transport and storage easier and improving the shelf life of weapons.
