For a more independent use, there is a backup power supply (battery) with up to 2 hours autonomy. The system acts on navigation and control frequencies GPS1, Glonass G1, 2.4 GHz (5.8 GHz optional). The rifle itself weighs 2 kg. With its power supply, the system weighs 8 kg.

Interestingly, this rifle is obviously based on a Colt M16.
