It can operate in all-weather day/night and it can be launched from a ground vehicle. It has 9 hours airborne time.[2] Harpy improved in several ways from its predecessor, particularly in loiter time, range, altitude, maintenance and training.[3] Also, it improved RF spectrum from 2–18 to 0.8–18 GHz.[4]
