Upon delivery, the weapon decelerates to obtain penetration angle and to increase safety distance from releasing aircraft. A solid rocket motor firing next accelerates the weapon to a very high speed for penetration into the hard target.

Warhead: 100 kg.
Sequencer Assembly: located immediately behind warhead and controls operation
sequence.
Parachute Section: attaches to booster and contains deceleration and main drag chutes.
