Intelligent loitering munition "Lancet-3" is made according to an aerodynamic scheme similar to aircraft, with two X-shaped sets of planes (like rocket), which made it possible to improve the maneuverability of the device.

The impact UAV is equipped with an electric motor, which is located in the rear of the fuselage with a two-bladed pushing propeller.

UAV "Lancet-3" it is possible to install several types of guidance systems - coordinate, with the help of optoelectronic means and combined. Detonator of the strike component has a pre-contact action system.

UAV "Lancet-3" is capable of independently detecting a target, capturing and hitting it.

When a target is detected, the UAV maneuvers and imitates the behavior of birds, making it difficult to detect and identify.

UAV "Lancet-3" is equipped with anti-laser protection. Loitering munition can also be successfully used for "air mining", to obstruct enemy UAVs.

The launch of an attack UAV is similar to the "Cube" UAV (with the help of an earthly catapult).

The Lancent-1, 3 UAVs were successfully used in real combat operations in Syria and, according to unconfirmed reports, in a Military special operation in Ukraine.
