The system can carry both kinetic and non-kinetic payloads and can be launched from mobile and stationary platforms in various environments—on land, in the air, and at sea. The company is also working on the NGSRI anti-aircraft missile system, which is intended to replace the FIM-92 Stinger.The NGSRI is equipped with an advanced sight featuring a powerful zoom and the ability to detect air targets at long range.
